TRIVIA CONTEST ON CFL’S FACEBOOK PAGE & BLOG
Have you read the trivia question for March on the library’s blog or Facebook page? It’s a question about Douglas Adams’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Patrons may respond via comments on the blog or the Facebook page or bring answers in person to the Patron Services desk. All correct responses will be gathered, and one winner will be drawn at the end of each month. That person may choose to have fines forgiven up to $5 or may borrow up to five DVDs from our collection at no charge.

PENNIES FOR PEACE PROJECT
Canton Free Library and its branches are collecting pennies for a program called PENNIES FOR PEACE, pennies that will help fund schools and libraries for children in remote areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The project is a division of the Central Asia Institute that helps Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools, promote peace through education by building schools and libraries, most of them for girls, in these two countries. We will conduct the campaign through the month of March. Businesses and organizations that would like to donate to this cause should contact Library Director Lyn Swafford at 386-3712. Give her a call! Who will collect the most pennies? Children? Teens? Adults?

CHILDREN'S CLASSES @ YOUR LIBRARY
Preschool Storytime Class is at 10:30 on Wednesday morning, March 10. We’re nearing the end of our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom theme. This week we feature the letter "V”! There will be stories, flannel board tales, songs, and movements about VACATIONS, VIOLINS and VARMINTS! Don't miss VALERIE doing a messy science experiment about a VOLCANO!!! At the craft tables, we'll make a colorful VEGETABLE craft project. Children 3 – to 5 years old and a caregiver are invited to join this busy group for the 45-minute program.
