Saturday-February 13 from 1:00 PM -3:00 PM
Led by Sue Bouck, a Beginner Crochet Class will be provided free of charge to area residents. You will be instructed on how to single crochet so you can make a small afghan, baby afghan, lap afghan, or scarf. Materials needed: 2 skeins of yarn for
an afghan, different yard colors (optional), 1 “Q” hook-sold at HarJo’s Ben Franklin or
Wal-Mart or you may purchase one at the class from the instructor. Since class size is limited for this beginner crochet class, pre-registration is required and a sign-up sheet is located on the table in front of the Circulation Desk.
LAKER ACCELERATED READER LISTS
The Accelerated Reader lists from Lakers Elementary School website and Lakers Jr. High website have been copied and put into spreadsheet files. Staff members at the Pigeon District Library have bolded the titles on each list that are in our library’s collection. For each school, one list of titles is in alphabetical order and another list is in book level order. Simply click on the file you wish to view and wait for the list to load.
BOOKPAGE
The February 2010 issue of BookPage has arrived and can be found in the library’s Information Center. “A monthly general interest review, BookPage covers the best in new releases. BookPage typically reviews up to 100 of each month’s new fiction, nonfiction, business, children’s, spoken word audio and how-to books. The tone is upbeat and literate, focusing on bestsellers as well as new discoveries.” BookPage can also be accessed through the internet at www.bookpage.com.
MICHIGAN AND FEDERAL TAX FORMS ARE HERE!
The library has received a limited supply of Michigan and Federal tax forms. If the tax form you need is not available in paper form, a staff member will assist you in retrieving it from a tax form website. We are pleased to be a source for income tax forms but wish to remind everyone that staff members are not tax professionals and cannot provide tax advice or assistance with e-filing and tax preparation.
