Friends of the Library News -- May 2025
Brian Hodge, President, FOCCPL, May 28, 2025
One of the chief goals of the Friends group is to promote our library so, with that in mind, I’d like to remind you that the library has a lot of information that can be helpful for the different seasons. For example, free seed packets were available during the spring planting season.
There are currently some great information sheets available on composting which provide helpful information for the beginning gardener as well as those more seasoned.
Friends from the library will again provide funding for the children’s Summer Reading Program which consists of art and creative activities. The program begins June 10th. (registration for program June 2nd – 4th) Grades K-3rd will meet on Tuesdays at 10:00 AM and Grades 4th thru 8th will meet on Fridays at 10AM. Call the library if you have questions or need additional information.
The Crittenden County Public Library is not only a place where one can find books of all genres but it is also a fantastic resource on a myriad of topics and for all ages.
You’ll want to plan to participate in the library’s next TRIVIA NIGHT, which is scheduled for FRIDAY, June 27th at 7:00 PM.
The library also hosts several group meetings on a monthly or bi-monthly schedule such as Genealogy (Monthly); Hooks & Needles is normally scheduled twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays however, these meetings are suspended during the summer months and will resume in September.
The library’s Brown Bag Book Club meets monthly. Stop in the library to pick up a bookmark with a listing of books scheduled for discussion in the remaining months of 2025.
While you’re there also pick up a monthly calendar so you will have a full schedule of activities and meetings for that month. You can also call the library with your questions 270-965-3354.
See you soon,
Brian
