Popcorn and a movie

We are inviting children and their parents to come to the library December 30 at 7 p.m. for popcorn and a newly released movie, sponsored by the members of the library trustee board. Come casual, come in your pjs. Come for a relaxing and fun evening.

Christmas and New Year Closings

The Homer Library will be closed December 24 and 25 for Christmas, and December 31 and January 1 for the New Year Holiday. We reopen at 2 p.m. on December 27 following the Christmas weekend, and January 3, 2005 following the New Year's weekend.

We wish our patrons a safe and happy holiday season. And remember, it's not too late to check out Christmas books and videos. Merry Christmas!!

Crafts for kids

We have some leftover kits from our Make and Take Craft Day this past Saturday. Your children are welcome to stop in and make a craft, or take one home to make, even if they already did one on Saturday. Some make nice ornaments for the tree. The thermometer provides a decorative science learning opportunity.
