The Library is happy (and sad) to announce the retirement of our Library Assistant for Youth Services Librarian, Lisa Fuller.
After 17 years at Plumb Library Ms. Lisa is graduating from Storytime and going on to her next adventure. We’d love it if you would join us in celebrating her time here with us. On Friday, May 30 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm stop by the library to offer up congratulations and best wishes, sign the memory book, and enjoy some light refreshments. We will have the memory book available at the desk in the weeks leading up to the party, and possibly for a short time afterward if you’re unable to attend on May 30.
Please share this invitation with your friends and neighbors. We would love to see as many friends and families as possible show up for this farewell event.
May Happening at the Library:
We will be joined by Karen Chace and Andrea Lovett for Carving Out Your Story: an Oral History Workshop. These talented storytellers will help you get those family story gems down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Using prompts and activities, they’ll guide you in finding the best parts of your own life story. This program will be held from 12-1:30 pm Saturday May 17 and is limited to 20 people. Sign up on the Events Calendar on our website, www.plumblibrary.com.
The month wraps up with an author talk from local sci-fi writer Richard Cutler. Join us from 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm Saturday, May 31 to hear about the writing process from rough drafts to published books. Richard is an engaging speaker who is passionate about all types of writing, but especially science fiction. He’s happy to answer questions about writing projects and the genre in general. Please register for this talk, as space is limited.
