Hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving. Thank you to all who participated in filling in the feathers of our annual Thankful Bird. He looked terrific.

Our book drive continues until Dec. 2 collecting books for Caring and Sharing. Please, drop off new books at the library during operating hours Tuesday 9-6, Wednesday 9-5:30, Thursday 9-6, Friday 9-4 and Saturday 9-3. We will get the donations to Caring and Sharing.

On Thursday, Dec. 8 from 4 until 6 p.m., we will host our annual open house with the annual library board meeting’s State of the Library address. Don’t worry, it’s short and sweet. After the meeting, refreshments will be served throughout the library, and our friend, Santa, will visit after 5 p.m. Please join us for this fun and tasty annual event.

CNB is hosting a bake sale on Friday, Dec. 2 benefiting the Mineola Memorial Library. Please purchase some tasty treats for your friends and family. The Grinch will be stopping by CNB between 2 and 6 p.m. CNB is located at 200 N. Pacific in Mineola.

Our first Tuesday of the month is Dec. 6. On that day we will have our Book It Crafting with Books making wreaths. Come build a wreath while enjoying fellowship with others. Also on that day is the First Tuesday After School Club at 4 p.m. for children K to 12th grade where we will make a seasonal craft.

American Girls will meet on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. to learn about Josefina from 1824 and what school might have been for her. This is for girls age 7 and older with their mom, and you must register by Thursday, Dec. 8 in order to attend. You may stop by the library at 301 N. Pacific or give us a call (903-569-2767) to reserve your spot.

The Friends of the Library will have a booth at Merry Christmas, TX in the Select Theater’s Annex the weekend of Dec. 2, 3, and 4 from 6 until 9:30 p.m. each night. Stop by, learn more about the Friends and support their efforts by joining the Friends and/or making a donation. There will not be a book sale at the Annex during December, so stop by their booth and see if you spot a book you just cannot live without.

Remember, the Mineola Memorial Library is a 501(c)3, non-profit and your donations may be tax-deductible.
