Directors Corner,

Happy September, PBTDL Patrons

The summer is winding down, but there’s still so much to celebrate in September!  Your library is kicking off the month with a “Football Tailgate Giveaway”.  While you are rooting for your favorite team, you may be the lucky winner of our party giveaway.  Be sure to come into the library and enter for this month’s drawing.  You will be able to see what is in the giveaway along with the newest reads that have hit the shelves.  Good Luck! 

If you have not signed up for our returning Story Time or Viking Lego Club programs that are held each Tuesday, there is still time to do so.  Call or come to the library to find out what they are all about.  Paige and Kaylee have been working hard to get everything ready for you.  Music, crafts and new Lego challenges are waiting for you!

It is time for the 4th annual Friends of the PBTDL Craft Show being held at the Country Mill on Saturday and Sunday, September 28th and 29th.  There is still time to sign up to be an vendor.  It is a great event to show off your crafts and handiwork.  If you are interested, please contact Janet Morey at janetmorey3@gmail.com.  

P.S. Kaylee loves cider and I love to pick a pumpkin….

 Friends of the PBTDL 4th Annual Craft show!

The Friends of PBTDL are sponsoring the “4th Annual Craft Show” at The Country Mill Orchard Barn 

We will be open for two days, September 28th and September 29th, from Noon to 5 PM each day.

There will be many booths filled with hand-crafted items, both inside the barn and along the walking path. The Country Mill will have their food available to purchase in the Orchard Barn as well. So please come and join us!

If you are crafty and would like to donate something towards the Friends of the Library table, please bring it in.  We appreciate your generosity.

 Are you feeling crafty?

Check out Crafts and Hobby's website for new designs for this summer season!

 https://www.craftandhobby.com/

To get started  use your 14 digit barcode to login and see all those crafts!

Discover your crafting abilities with step by step tutorials and videos. For example you can learn to cake decorate like a pro,  crochet until you have 15 little squares, and do some woodworking, so you can add that last finishing touch. Let's get started!

Support your library by putting up a Library Sign in your yard.  We have new signs! 

Stop in to pick one up.  They are FREE and located in the front entrance.

In case you missed it, we are now into our 9th month of our year long birthday celebration. 

We are holding a year long scavenger hunt throughout the City of Potterville and Benton Township.

There will be a CLUE hidden in each e-newsletter. Find the clue, then find the item/location and take a photo of yourself with the location and bring it in to the library (or email us at  director@pottervillelibrary.org) . If you would like to participate, we will have a form that we will keep at the circulation desk with your name on it, and for each month that you complete, we will then mark it as completed. 
When you complete all 12 months successfully, you will be entered in for a chance to win an Apple iPad .  Good Luck!
