LS LIBRARY NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2016
AUTUMN IS A SECOND SPRING WHERE EVERY LEAF IS A FLOWER
A QUOTE BY WILLA CATHER
"She had only to stand in the orchard, to put her hand on a little crab tree and look up at the apples, to make you feel the goodness of planting and tending and harvesting at last."
A note or two from Mrs. Knauer--
As we watch leaves fall, we begin to think of curling up on a crisp fall evening with a good book in our hands. There are two opportunities to find a good book as we enter the throes of autumn...the new books in the LS Library and the Barnes and Noble Book Fair.
---Barnes and Noble Book Fair
The annual LCDS Barnes and Noble Book Fair will be held at the Fruitville Pike Barnes and Noble on Thursday November 17, 2016. The Book Fair will run from 9am to 10pm. Come to Barnes and Noble on November 17th and support this fun event.
---LEGO Wall
The LEGO Wall in the LS Library is beginning to take shape. The frame is being built, LEGO bricks are arriving, shelving for storage is being painted, ideas for builds are being formed....it's looking good!!!!! We are hoping to have this all ready in another month or so. A big thank you to everyone who is helping make this happen.
