Wow! That's as succinctly as I can put it. November 12th we hosted a program where participants from three mini-memoir writing workshops read some of their works to the public. Sheila Lisman has done a fantastic job with these workshops and had a great idea organizing the public reading. If you weren't there, you missed something really out-of-the-ordinary. The folks who chose to share provided us with a wonderful mix of poignant and funny, serious and whimsical. It actually made me a little mad at myself since I don't really have the guts to get out there and share like that. I heard rumors though, that there might be enough interest to do it again. So, who knows - maybe I'll have a chance and maybe you will too!
Our National Gaming Day afternoon of games on November 14th seemed to go over well too. We had about 40 participants ranging from children to adults. With 2 areas, a family game area in the Children's Department and a youth game area upstairs in the auditorium, there was plenty for everyone to do.
If you haven't seen the polio survivor's display at either the Reno County Museum or the Promise Regional Medical Center, you still have a chance to take in part of the display here at the library. Through the middle of December, various artifacts and displays will be here for viewing. The exhibit is in two areas, with the second floor display focusing more on local history and the first floor display focusing on the disease and how people have coped.
