Millard Oakley Public Library News
🍁🦃 November 18, 2022 🦃🍁
The Staff at the Millard Oakley Public Library would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. We are grateful for all the people who use the library.
With the Thanksgiving holiday, we will be closed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week, November 24-26. We will reopen on Monday, November 28.
Our Friends of the Millard Oakley Library will hold their winter book sale on Friday, December 9, and Saturday, December 10. The Annual Christmas Parade is also on Saturday. Come early for the parade, support the Friends of the Library by picking out a few books, and have some reading material handy while waiting for the parade to begin.
The library has more than books available for our customers. There are telescopes available to check out, ukuleles, and Wi-Fi hotspots. We will be adding additional items, including a sewing machine, soon. If you have items at home that you no longer need, call us to see if we can add them to our collection. We are looking for items such as cake pans, cookie cutters, tool kits, or other items you might find useful. Look for our Library of Things coming soon!
There are several new books recently added to our collection. New titles include:
“Welcome to the School By the Sea” by Jenny Colgan, “Other Birds” by Sarah Addison Allen, “Fire” by Molly McAdams, “A Quilt for Christmas” by Melody Carlson, “A Christmas Courtship” by Shelley Shepard Gray, and “Hooky” a young adult graphic novel by Miriam Bonastre Tur.
New to the library on DVD are:
“Great Migrations”, “Jack Frost”, “Vic the Viking”, “Beyond the Sea”, and “Christmas with a Capital C”.
“The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us.” James E. Faust
