January Programs Calendar

Sorry for the delay in keeping the blog up to date!

Here is the latest news from our Board of Directors President, Chris Ruggia:

UPDATE: Jan. 13, 2012 - The Library remains closed during the transition to the new building. Staff and volunteers are working tremendously hard to get ready. We hope to open the doors before the end of January, but opening day will depend on how quickly the access road and parking lot paving can accept vehicle traffic.

Thanks for your patience!

The Teen Book Club will meet at 4pm, Dec. 2, in the Southwest Room of the Alpine Public Library.  The group will discuss “From the Mixed Up Files of Miss Basil E. Frankweiler,” by E.L. Koingsburg,  and explore a theme from “Socrates Cafe,” by Chris Phillips, author and co-founder of The Society of Philosophical Inquiry.  New members are always welcome!  For more information, call the library at 837-2621.

The library still has used furniture items for sale including:

• two metal/laminate desks
• various wooden shelves, non-adjustable

EVERYTHING MUST GO - MAKE A DONATION!  ALL PROCEEDS HELP THE LIBRARY WITH NEW FURNITURE & VARIOUS EXPENSES.

Alpine Public Library’s Halloween Costume Contest was a huge success!  We had almost 30 critters, ghouls, and goblins show up for the event!  Everyone looked great!  To see our photos, and some taken by Cindy Perry (thanks again, Cindy!), check out our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/alpinepubliclibrary

The toddler time program is canceled for the duration of the library move.  Please join us when we re-open in late November!
