MASON JAR VOTIVE/PINTEREST IMAGE
The morning temperature is already oh-so-nice, letting us know that fall is just a few weeks away! No better time to start thinking about seasonal home decorations and crafts! 

That's what Lana, at the Pearl Public Library, has in mind for September's Simply Crafts. A fall festooned Mason Jar Votive Holder to brighten any home! Hey, it makes a great gift too! Who wouldn't want this colorful, festive beauty?!  

Don't miss this Simply Crafts on Tues., Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. It's free and all materials are supplied. No reservation or registration needed. Remember the Simply Crafts, adult program is every second Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m.

We'll see you there!

Pearl Library Snuggle Up and Read! Winners

This January and February, the Pearl Library held a reading contest for Young Adult and Adult patrons. The goal was simple: read the most books and win a big prize! And we were so impressed with our patrons-those who turned in reading logs read almost 500 books! 

Here are some pictures of our most avid readers:
 
With a grand tally of 43 books read, Tabatha won the adult category. Here she is with me (Joy, the Reference Supervisor) and her gift, which included a back rest, a blanket, some coffee cups, a box of tea, a book light, some cozy socks, a cool candle, and a few other small prizes.Tabatha is one of our loyal patrons, and we're so excited that she read so many books and won this prize! Good job!





And here's a picture of Elizabeth, who read 128 books!!! That's amazing! Included in her prize were a back rest and a cozy blanket, along with socks, hot chocolate, a book light, a travel mug, a candle, and a cute notepad.Way to go, Elizabeth!








We hope everyone will stay tuned to hear about future programs we're doing here in Pearl! A special thanks goes to the Friends of the Pearl Library for helping us to fund these prizes and the other small prizes for entrants in this program.

Craft night @ Pearl 11.13.12


It's amazing what you with Mod-Podge! We decoupaged some really pretty tissue paper to some taper candles for this month's craft night. Of course, they are for decorative purposes only. Although, the Mod-Podge label states that the glue is not flammable... If we get any reports of our crafters' houses on fire due to lighting these particular candles, we'll update you! We had lots of paper to choose from, and some new guests showed up! If you like doing crafts and enjoy great company, come by the Pearl Library every 2nd Tuesday. We'll see you soon!
