Make tracks at the library!  Snocade kicks off with a parade on Friday, February 12 at 4:30. The tricky tray will be held that night at 6 in the school gym.

Friends Book and Cookie sale on Saturday 2.13 and Sunday 2.14  from 10-2:30.  A great selection and well organized with new shelving up in the book shed.

Although the library will be closed on Monday, 2.15 (Check out the dogsled rides at Byron Park 12-5 and  and  FrostFest at the Adirondack Museum from 10-4) bring the kids to the library for stories and crafts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 1- 2 PM.

Wednesday at 7 PM we will have a special presentation in the library by Erik Schlimmer and Jill Reid on hiking and travels. Erik will have his new book, “My Adirondacks”.

We never know for certain who will attend our meetings, but this time we did know who would not be able to make it.  Due to the weather, we received two cancellations from our far away friends.  Thinking that we might have a short meeting with few members, we were in for a great surprise.

We traveled on the Appalachian Trail for over seven hundred and seventy miles.  We felt abandoned during a hike up Crane Mountain while bushwhacking and ending up in a cave.  Luckily this was a fiction piece.  We traveled back in time to Brooklyn when two twelve year olds’ adventures almost created a potentially dangerous situation.  Laughter exploded when hearing another Odd Tale; this one about a drone flashing pictures of unaware neighbors in the dark of night.  Our two Trapped pieces changed the mood.  One tale of an entrapment in a bathroom in a Rome hotel created a heightened sense of panic.  The next entrapment made us all shiver hearing about the retelling of a story heard during a college get together many years ago.  This story took place in Japan and the combination of a very tiny kitchen with a closed door and a trapped rat took us into a situation which none of us wished to ever experience.

Well, you may have an idea of what you missed if you were not in attendance.

***WE WILL NOT MEET IN FEBRUARY DUE TO MANY OF US TRAVELING FOLKS WHO WILL NOT BE HERE.
