The Rhoads Memorial Library March Display of the Month features quilting and Jill Craig of Plainview.
Here at Rhoads Memorial Library, the March Display of the Month features items touting the upcoming Ogallala Quilt Festival of 2024 set for April 5-6. Jill Craig of Plainview is exhibiting some quilted creations along with tools of the trade; she is a member of the Ogallala Quilters Society.
Brochures pertaining to the annual festival are still available on our circulation desk. The detailed information notes that this year’s theme is “Optical Art: Dimension, Deception, Perception.” Ruth Ann Berry, who owns her own quilt store in Fife Lake, Michigan, will be the featured teacher.
This coming weekend features an event I always dread: Daylight Saving Time. We, along with most of the U.S., will “spring forward” and lose an hour until time is adjusted in November 2024. The official time for the current event is 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10. Hawaii andArizona (except for the Navajo Nation) do not observe daylight saving time, nor do the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
English as a Second Language classes continue in our meeting room but have been changed from two to one night per week. For the foreseeable future, they will convene on Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
Another session of “Cooking Well With Diabetes” is set for Tuesday, March 19, at noon in our meeting room. Lunch will be provided if you call 806-4859135 to RSVP. Courtney Lowe, health agent with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, will lead the event. Those dealing with diabetes or others who plan meals and cook for them are invited to the luncheon.
Newlyreleased books that have arrived and are available for checkout include: -”Three-inch Teeth” (a Joe Pickett novel) by C.J. Box; -”Murder in the Tea Leaves” (a Tea Shop Mystery) by Laura Childs; -”Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop” (a novel) by Hwang Bo-reum and Shanna Tan.
That last book finds a woman named Yeongju at her wits end. She did everything expected of her as she went to school, married a decent man, and landed a respectable job. But when it all fell apart, she took a leap of faith and followed her dream of opening a bookshop. She and her customers take refuge in the healing power of books, learning that it is never too late to scrap your life’s plot and start again.
Until next week, Happy Reading!
