MY FAVORITE BOOK

January 2009 we will launch the "MY FAVORITE BOOK" project in honor of the Library's 10th year of operation. Come to the library and we will offer to take your picture with you favorite book. Everyone's pictures will be posted at the library. Any of us can help you (Andrea, Chris, Patsy, Bonnie or Kathleen) find your book and take your picture. This project will go on for the entire year of 2009 to celebrate the 10 year that this library has served the Manchester - Shortsville area. See this link for an idea of what we are trying to do:

Santa Claus visits RJCL

Santa was kind enough to drop by the library and visit with our preschoolers on December 3rd.

10th Birthday Party for Red Jacket Community Library

Red Jacket Community Library 10th Birthday Party was celebrated December 6th from 1PM—3PM. Approximately 150 people attended including Senator Mike Nozzolio and Assemblyman Brian Kolb. This was also a party for all of the public libraries in Ontario County, since all 12 of the libraries now belong to the online shared catalog known as OWWL (www.owwl.org).

First, we were entertained by the Red Jacket Madrigals singing group. We held a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, a variety of Free Raffles were drawn and we served from 10 birthday cakes made especially for the library by Sunshine Bakery in Shortsville.

Chistmas Cookie Contest

We held our first Community-wide Christmas Cookie contest tonight at the Library. Cookies were officially judged by the owner of the Sunshine Bakery in Shortsville. The public also was able to sample cookies and vote for a “popular vote” prize.
The winner of the contest, Macie King, age 13, of Shortsville, actually won both prizes for her Chocolate Chip cookie with walnuts. Macie is pictured here with owners of the Sunshine Bakery and the Library Director.
We plan to have this become an annual December event.
