Kids Make Ornaments At The Orchard Library

The weather didn’t co-operate in December to do story hour for the children, but that didn’t stop library director Donna Hamilton from having some fun. 

Hamilton, who had planned a special Christmas Open House, kept the craft materials out and available, along with the snacks she had prepared, and let children complete their crafts on their own time. Thirteen students completed their Christmas Ornament during the school break. 

Hamilton is also planning for the new year, and has some exciting events in store. 

Coming in the new year, the Orchard Quilt Group will be putting on a mini Quilt Show in the back room of the Library. 

The show will be set up on the January 11 and will be available for a month, giving the community time to take advantage of the beautiful display. 

Hamilton also dedicated the last part of 2016 to putting some new books on the shelves, such as Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly, which is a new movie just out in the theaters. 
​
Several books were also donated by library patrons. In the new year, Hamilton is also planning a Story Hour for sometime late in January or early February.
