Please come to our reception!  We are honoring Mrs. Cynthia Fosberry.  She was recently awarded for being Southern Adirondack Library System’s Library Trustee of the Year in recognition of her hard work, dedication and endless contributions in the name of the library.  Cynthia’s involvement with the library spans three decades.  As a member of the volunteer committee formed to establish a library in Lake Luzerne, Cynthia was instrumental in the library achieving its provisional charter in 1969.  She helped open the library to the community, serving as a librarian from 1970-1971.  Through her involvement, both officially and informally, she helped the library obtain its Absolute Charter, install a handicap ramp, expand its collections, and expand and renovate the library building.  Since 1995 Cynthia has been an active member of the Board of Trustees, holding the offices of Secretary, Vice-President, and, from 2001-2005, President.  The Board nominated Cynthia because she is “a truly remarkable community-spiritied, giving person.”

Hi,
Our book club would have met Tuesday the 11th, but the library was closed for Veteran’s Day.  So they rescheduled to Thursday the 13th.  On Thursday they will be picking up the new book for the month.  Skipping Christmas by John Grisham is a classic tale for modern times that offers a hilarious look at the chaos and frenzy that has become part of our holiday tradition.  Imagine a year without Christmas.  No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents.  This year the Kranks have decided to set sail on a Caribbean cruise.  But, as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences-and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined.
So pick up your copy of the book today or order one online.  They will be discussing this book on December 9th.
