News for February  3,  2010   

For the month of February, the Hawn Library will be hosting a VHS and audio cassette (books on tape) sale.  Because of the lack of circulation, these items were pulled off of the shelves and are ready to be sold.  A vast collection is available for your  selection.  Stop by and make your donation to the library.

An Art history exhibit entitled Picturing America is on display at the library.  Susan Kelley, the library’s program director tells me that this exhibit is a self guided tour which allows a deeper appreciation of our country’s History and Masterpieces.  The first quarter of the exhibit will extend from 1100 to 1764 and it “uses splendor of art to develop a wide range observation of American History that will bridge the subjects in the humanities.” 

 New books in the library this week are very few.   Tailspin by Catherine Coulter and Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy are the featured novels available.

A representative from the NYS Census Bureau will be at the Hawn Memorial Library in Clayton through the month of February to do testing for part time, temporary positions.   To take the test so that you may be considered for a position, you can stop by the Hawn Library at 9:30 a.m. on February 2^nd, 6^th, 16^th, or the 20^th.

Thet library be closed on Presidents Day, Monday, February 15^th in celebration of the holiday.
