Director's Note | February 2016

With the Super Bowl around the corner, we are reminded of the saying, "Any Given Sunday." Here's a summary of "Any Given Day" at the Pendleton Community Public Library.
 
No matter the day, like clockwork, a patron arrives to copy the crossword puzzle.  He's kind enough to make a few extra copies for patrons that he doesn't even know. If it's a Tuesday or Wednesday, one particular patron of the Senior Café will pick one of those up on her way to enjoy camaraderie and a hot meal at noon in the community room.  Afterwards, she may stay for BINGO.  And, she'll return on Friday to enjoy a spirited Dominoes competition.
 
Once school is out on Wednesday, forty teens will compete in a video game tournament played on a 65" screen.  The following day some of those same teens will convene the Anime Society to explore classic and new anime from Japan.
 
If the name of the day ends in Y, there's a good chance something is going on in the children's department.  We have book clubs on Monday, music and movement on Tuesday, family story time on Wednesday, toddler times on Thursday, and science on Friday.  In February, there's even a "Minute to Win It" family program on Sunday!
 
On Monday evenings, local knitters "sit, stitch, and unwind" in a bi-monthly knitting circle. And, on the last Saturday of the month, you'll find yogis of all levels enjoying an early morning workout.
 
No matter the day, there is always something going on at the Pendleton Community Public Library, and it just may surprise you.  Stop in and see what we're up to today!
