Ephraim Staples is the 2023 Winner!

There were 18 players in this year’s tournament. Ephraim Staples and Judy Fuller beat out the other competitors to play in the final match.  Ephraim won in two matches. Both are pictured above with Ephraim holding the prize of a handcrafted Lake St. George Cribbage board from LSG Brewing to add to his collection. Judy deserves an honorable mention, though, because she just newly learned to play Cribbage in January at the library. So she will win the 2 dozen eggs from Heart & Hand Farm.

Children who are introduced to reading at an early age tend to excel at school and are quicker to develop critical learning skills.

Pull on your boots (or perhaps your snowshoes!) to enjoy the winter StoryWalk® on the Haystack Mountain Trail. This enjoyable family activity offers time outdoors in nature, physical exercise, and introduces you to a new book. In Fox versus Winter by Corey R. Tabor, Fox does not like winter. None of his friends are around to play. He is bored and alone. Then Fox has an idea. If he cannot escape winter, he will fight it!

Wednesdays, 10:30am-12:00pm

The Knitting Group will resume weekly at the library. All are welcome. Bring a handcraft of your choice to work on in an informal setting.  Get out of your house and come chat with your neighbors!
