March keeps on marching onward, and so does spring! This is the perfect time to do some spring cleaning as the Library accept donations of books, DVDs, and magazines with the understanding that if we can’t use these items we will put them in our book sale, give them away, or pass them on to another organization.

Story & Craft Time

On Wednesday, March 19th the Library hosted our weekly Story & Craft Time. Library Fairy MaKayla featured the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s First Spring” from the World of Eric Carle. The kids created tissue paper flowers and butterflies while enjoying juice and snacks. Afterward, everyone went outside for games, sidewalk chalk, and fun!

Movie Time

On Thursday, March 20th the Library had a private movie showing about a boy who unleashes a horde of monsters on a small town. We served popcorn as our snack! If you have an organization or group that would like a private showing of a movie in our community room please feel free to contact us, our room can hold a max of 28 patrons.

It was another Retro Movie Night at the Jamerson Library on Thursday, March 20th, complete with popcorn. Our next Retro Night will be on Thursday, April 17th at 6:00 pm. We will be featuring a movie with a DeLorean, joining a duo of hometown heros as they travel back in time to save the future!
