On Saturday September 22, 2007 from 9am till 5pm, the Friends of the Waterford Library will be sponsoring a Craft Festival. The festival will take place in O’Conner Park located behind the library. Make a point to visit the festival which will feature over 20 vendors and help support the Friends of the Waterford Library. 

If you’ve been wondering what that delicious smell is that has been coming from the direction of the library on several occaisions, you have one additional opportunity to find out! Back by popular demand, it’s BBQ Books & Blues, featuring Rib Master Elden Miller! on Friday Sept. 21 from 5-7pm. This will be your final opportunity of the season to sample some of the best Texas BBQ anywhere, and discover what a great library we have, all at the same time. Don’t miss it!

Thanks to numerous offers of help, we are pleased to announce that the Waterford Library will be continuing it’s popular Tuesday & Friday storytimes! The Tuesday slot is reserved for pre-schoolers ages 3-5, while the Friday slot is for toddlers, ages 18-36 months. Both programs begin at 11am during the week of September 17th. Interested parents should email the library at info@waterfordpubliclibrary.info or call 237-0891.

The staff and Board of Trustees of the Waterford Public Library greatly appreciate the tremendous support we have received in the wake of Melanie Leavitt’s sudden passing last month. All the cards, gifts and kind words help to ease our grief and lift our spirits. As we plan to move forward in the weeks and months ahead we will be preparing an appropriate in-house memorial to our friend and colleague. More details to follow.
