Happy New Year! Start off the New Year helping a family in
need. Spencer Public Library is a donation drop for CAASA and the Family Crisis
Center for victims of domestic violence. Items you donate will be used while
victims are seeking refuge or working toward gaining independence. The library
will collect personal hygiene items such as shampoo and conditioner, styling
products and tools, soap, body wash, lotion, feminine hygiene products, baby
wipes, diaper ointment, tweezers, q-tips, nail clippers, deodorant, first-aid
supplies, toothbrushes, toothpaste, contact solution, socks, underwear,
household cleaning supplies, gas cards, supermarket cards, and gift cards. Victims
of domestic violence often need supplies for going into emergency hotel
placement, shelter, or starting over after leaving an abusive partner. Your
support is greatly appreciated!
Why not start the New Year right
by volunteering for a local organization? In February, Spencer Public Library
will be hosting a Volunteer Fair where organizations from our community will
talk to you about the opportunities they can provide. Come to the library for a
one on one conversation to find the best place to suit your needs. Learn a new
skill, help your community, and meet new people! Organizations that will be at
the Volunteer Fair are: Volunteer Network of Clay County, SAAC, CAASA, Love Takes Root, Clay
County Fair Association, Spencer Public Library Friends Group
The library will be showing the
movie Maudie starring Sally Hawkins
and Ethan Hawke. Maudie is a film biography and based on the true story of when a
Nova Scotian folk artist falls in love with a fishmonger while working for him
as a live-in housekeeper. A wonderful
movie that shouldn’t be missed!
Sign-up to read the thriller, The Taking of Pelham 123, by John Godey. What starts as a normal
day on the New York City subway becomes a race against time when a commuter
train is hijacked. We will watch the 1974 movie in February starring Walter
Mathau and Robert Shaw. Copies of the book provided.
