Part A? Part B? Part C? Supplemental? 
For anyone in his or her early 60s, decisions about what kind of Medicare coverage to sign up
for can be overwhelming and confusing. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to host a speaker 
from the Central Vermont Council on Aging whose expertise in the Medicare program might offer 
considerable help to those on the verge of having to make these difficult decisions.
However, the speaker will be available to us only on a late afternoon Thursday or a late morning Saturday 
in February or March. Please let us know if you are interested in attending; it wouldn't make sense for her 
to drive down here for just one or two people.

Some new titles: "Cat Sense" - John Bradshaw, "Dogtripping" - David Rosenfelt, "The Invention of Wings" - 
Sue Monk Kidd, "The Kept" - James Scott, "Fear Nothing" - Lisa Gardner, "The Purity of Vengeance" - Adler-Olsen.

We are hoping to start a lego collection at the library. If you happen to have some, just collecting dust,
and you'd like to sell them reasonably (or donate them!) please let us know. We would really appreciate it.

We're also in the early planning stages for a "Fancy Nancy Tea Party"! Possibly Saturday, Feb. 8 at 11 am ------ so
get those costumes, fancy words and good manners ready. We'll keep you posted.

The drop box in Coburn's Store is still there ---- just moved to a new location:
it's in the back of the store, between the meat counter, across from the bank office door. 
It's fine to leave your returns for the library there (or in the drop-box against the back wall in the
Strafford PO).

For the Holiday Sale: please bring in any "regiftable" items (high quality gifts that you didn't love or
couldn't use, of course!) by Wednesday; baked goods, etc by Friday, 3 - 5pm. or Sat. 9 -10am.

STORYTIME !! Friday 10 am at the library.

Someone recently told us about this website, which may be helpful for parents of boys who
may be  "reluctant" readers:
http://www.guysread.com/
If you find something that looks interesting and we don't have it in the library, we'll be glad
to do an InterLibrary Loan search for the book.
