The Library
By Barbara McCreary
Season’s Readings
Unfortunately, as of this writing, the Friends of the Bogue Banks Public Library’s
Book Nook is still closed for repairs, but that is not going to dampen our holiday
spirits. (Look for information about a Book Nook reopening party at some point in
the future.)
In the meantime, our current Silent Auction round is designed for just-in-time
holiday gift giving. Our packages include:
1. Nice Catch—Books to share with your littlest angler friends
2. Drawing from Within—Drawing technique books and supplies for the art lovers
in your life or self-inspiration for a new winter hobby
3. All Wrapped Up—A variety of Christmas picture books that come gift wrapped.
Each day a child chooses a book to unwrap and to enjoy some snuggle lap time
with a favorite grown-up.
4. Wishing You a Meowy Christmas—A purr-feet gift of books and cat treats for
lovers of all things feline
5. Maxfield Parrish Bonanza—A collection of poster books, coffee table books
and even commemorative postage stamps focusing on the neoclassical work of
American artist and illustrator Maxfield Parrish. This one is really special.
Bids will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on December 11. We appreciate your
generous support of our library program. The Friends of Bogue Banks Public Library
Board members would all like to wish you “Season’s Readings.”
More library happenings. The Bogue Banks library will be closed for the holidays
