Meeooowww, Thistle here. :) I LOVE coming to work with Mom! I get to see so many people and they give me all kinds of lovies. It’s the best! I lead a very busy life at the library. I must groom myself, eat, sleep, play with Briar, sleep, run from Briar, get the zoomies, try to eat Mom’s food (she usually shares a little, but sometimes I have to get a little pushy), play with kids, and sleep some more. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Mom closed the library at 5:00pm last Monday. She fed me dinner and sat down to catch up on emails etc. When I was done eating, I went on a little walk about and then I fell asleep. I won’t say where, because it was a really great hiding place. So good, in fact, that Mom couldn’t find me, and she and Briar looked for me for over an hour! I’m a heavy sleeper so I don’t hear when Mom calls me if I’m asleep. To make a long story short…I spent my first night EVER alone…in the library. Boy was I glad to see Mom Tuesday morning! I stayed right by her or on her all day. I haven’t ever been alone for that long before…It wasn’t fun at all. There wasn’t anyone to play with or snuggle with and no one gave me petses. I’m definitely not a fan of alone time. I definitely LOVE being with my family. Speaking of family… Have you ever wanted to get your family history together but just didn’t know where to start? The Friends of the Library will be hosting an evening Introductory Genealogy Class at the library on Thursday, February 9th from 6:30-7:30pm. Learn how to get started, what forms to use, what tools are available and more. The class is free so come one, come all!! Mom said to remind you about starting a book club that would meet once or twice a month to discuss the book we’re all reading. She said you could meet at the library or at Classic Café for a snack or whatever floats everybody’s boat. She received a few new titles with multiple copies this week. The new titles this week are: Peace Like A River by Leif Enger: The story of a father raising his three children in 1960s Minnesota, Peace Like a River is at once a heroic quest, a tragedy, a love story, and a haunting meditation on the possibility of magic in the everyday world.; The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Evans: It charts a tragic accident to 2 girls and their horses. One of the girls and her horse die while the other girl and her beloved horse are severely traumatized; and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner is the story of Amir, a Sunni Muslim, who struggles to find his place in the world because of the aftereffects and fallout from a series of traumatic childhood events. If you’re interested in reading any of these titles, as a group, please let us know! In case you didn’t know, here’s a brief run-down of the programming going on at the library on a weekly basis: (Also, Briar and I are usually at the library on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, when Mom is at work.:)
We’re working on starting a stitch ‘n ‘itch club that will meet once or twice a month where you will bring whatever “project” you’re working on. Stay tuned for time and place. Saturdays with Averie (activities appropriate for school age children and families):
All of her classes are free! Mark it on your calendar and come join us for some fun!! Any questions? Please call the library at 712-624-8554. Stay fluffy, Thistle, the Library Kitten
