What's Happening @ the Madbury Library

*************************************************

Did you know that February is National Bird-feeding month!

Congressman John Porter (R-IL) read a resolution into the Congressional Record on February 23, 1994 proclaiming February as National Bird-Feeding Month.

Every year, there are over 100 species of birds that visit bird feeders throughout the United States!  Bird feeders come in all different shapes and sizes.  They are designed to hold a variety of bird seeds, and thus, attract different species of wild birds.

Take a moment to check out the NH Audubon website:

Rosa, our English Setter trained reading dog, listens to new and emerging readers every month. Sign up now for her February 8th visit (from 1:30 to 3:30).  This is a wonderful, fun way to encourage the love of reading!  Come to the library or call to sign up for a twenty-minute reading appointment with Rosa.

Congratulations to Peggy Wolcott who received the 2011 Library Volunteer of Year Award.  She was presented with the certificate and a Madbury Library mug at the annual Thank-You Breakfast for volunteers.  The Award read in part: "A 'Founding Mother' of the library,  her interest and involvement in the library has been unending.  She has given us countless hours of ideas, energy, enthusiasm, and Peggy power.  Our children’s room and its collection are outstanding, thanks to her donations of books and many hours of loving care."

On behalf of the Trustees of the Library, Director Nancy Bergeron presents Peggy with her award.
