Library projects
Although we haven't had a lot of programs this summer, trustees and friends of the library have been busy with many projects. Most recently many volunteers manned the booth at the Sawtooth Mountain Mamas Arts and Crafts Fair selling our beautiful calendars and books by local authors. We appreciate the authors who allowed us to sell their books, and donated part of the profits to the library. The authors included Margaret Watkins, Margaret Fuller, Scott Marchant, John Rember, Patricia Holmes and Leilani Jones. People from so many different places became aware of our library, what we are planning for the future and what services we offer now.
Thanks for generous gestures
Hats off to Charlie Briggs for doing some work for a local person and not charging for his services, but asking them to instead make a donation to the library. This small gesture shows how much our library is appreciated by our patrons and we are grateful.
Charlie also supplied flies for Pavlov's Frog, our amphibian resident during summer reading and beyond. Pavlov's Frog thrived in our local habitat aquarium, but has been set free to live the remainder of his life in his natural surroundings. We appreciate Mr. Casey the Librarianator and Jen Hettum for supplying the aquatic creatures for our program, and then returning them to their natural environment. Kids and grownups alike enjoyed searching for the tadpoles and seeing their progression.
Sawtooth Music Festival
This Friday and Saturday, July 30 and 31, marks the fifth annual Sawtooth Music Festival. The festival has traditionally given a portion of their proceeds to various local entities and this year the library has designated as the beneficiary. Any friend or patron of the library who is interested in volunteering at this event is encouraged to do so. Volunteers can help in several different capacities from helping with parking to donating goods for the green room. For more information please contact Lisa Muscavage. Anyone donating goods for the green room should drop those off at anytime at the library.
Celebration of appreciation
Our next event is a mid-summer celebration of appreciation for friends, supporters and patrons of the library on Thursday, August 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. The gathering will be held at the home of Kate Browning. Stop by the library for a map to Kate's home. Come and enjoy an evening with like minded people, cocktails, appetizers, desserts and music.
2011 Calendars
Our 2011 calendars are available for sale at the library for $15.00 tax included, or 10 for $100.00 plus tax. The calendar is also available for sale at numerous retail outlets in the Sawtooth Valley.
