WOODSTOCK – September is Library Card Sign-Up Month at Whitman Memorial Library.

In addition to books, videos, CDs and books on tape, the library has several cassette tapes of music, which have been donated. The same donor gave several new audio books.

The National Endowment for the Arts has sent 14 books on CDs and those are available to all. There are several books by local authors. The two latest are from David Conary, who has donated a book of poetry, “Forever Spoken,” which includes one of his poems, and Ed Howe, who has written “Tales from Evans Notch District and Others.”

Current art work on display is an exhibit of Pearl Jordan work on quilling, which is done with paper.

The library is planning a program at 2 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month, starting Sept. 11.

Plans continue to be made for the 100th birthday celebration from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Columbus Day, Monday, Oct. 13. There will be a Chinese Auction to raise money for more children’s books, and there will be old-fashioned games for the children and a checker tournament for any age.
