Friends of the Babcock Library have found a new and innovative way to repurpose the old stage curtain from the Knowlton Auditorium (beneath the library). They use patterns to cut, stitch and sew pieces of the burgundy curtain into wreaths, stuffed animals, and other gift items. See the picture here for a booth the Friends made to display the products of their creativity! For a larger view, click on the picture.

Playaway Swap
The library has entered into a swap arrangement for Playaway ebook players. We have 6 new players in this month. Every 3 months we’ll swap for another batch. Playaways are compact devices (3 1/2 in. x 2 in. x 5/8 in.) that take a AAA battery and operate like a tiny cassette player, but with no tape. Use your own earphones to listen. See our display in the library for titles we have on hand right now.
Closed for MLK Day
The Babcock Library will be closed on Monday, January 21, 2008 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

New Web Calendar
Our library now has a new, improved event calendar on our web site. Click on the Calendar link to find out what's coming up at Babcock, print out events, and e-mail events to your friends or yourself. You can also search from a drop-down list for events that interest you (try "knitting" or "books" but without the quotation marks around the words). We are busy adding future events to it, so look for it to expand further and further into future months.
