July Newsletter
Dear Patrons and Friends of Chase Library,
I am willing to bet that many of you are tidying up your gardens, putting out your flags, and making a grocery list for the upcoming holiday! Whether you will be flying solo, having a houseful of family and friends, or somewhere in between, I hope you are looking forward to celebrating Independence Day. July 4th is such a special holiday for all Americans. We celebrate with parties, parades, and songs!! I have always felt living in the United States of America is a blessing. And I will always celebrate its birth with joy! I hope you have a spectacular 4th!!
Lots going on at Chase, so let’s get to it!
If you haven’t already, we invite you to stop by to meet Michael Crocker, our new Librarian. He has a library-experience background and will soon be starting his graduate work leading to a Masters in Library Sciences. He is a great guy, a wonderful addition to Chase, and has already made an impact on daily operations! You’re gonna love him!
And when you do stop by, please offer a BIG Thank You to Jeanne Rudzinzki, our new Board of Trustees President. I needed to step back for personal reasons and to give my old brain a break. Becoming Board President was not really Jeanne’s plan, but Chase Library means so much to her that she accepted the nomination. All of us owe Jeanne our gratitude and our assistance. We are also pleased to announce a great new addition to the Board of Trustees, Karen Suter! We are sad to see Diane Behan leave the Board, but we know that she will still be present at Chase and will volunteer when she can!
It’s BOOK SALE time!!! On July 11, from 10-4, we will be holding the first of two book sales at Doane Park in Harwich Port, in conjunction with the Village Crafters of Cape Cod. A big Thank You to those who have donated books for our sale. And a HUGE Thank You to Jeanne and Diane who have been organizing books for months!
Speaking of the sale, we could use a few hearty souls to help us pack up the books, carts, tables, and chairs and get them to the park in the am and back to the library in the pm. The two hardy husbands who used to help us both have health issues that prevent them from giving us a hand. So we could use yours if you are able! We need help on Thursday, July 11, from 8:30 am to 9:30 for set up; then again from 3:45 pm to 4:15 to get things back to the library. Please email me asap at [email protected] if you can help!!
Chase is sponsoring an author talk with Adrienne Brodeur as our guest on August 7!! Her novel, Little Monsters, recently came out in paperback. It is a really good story which takes place on the Cape. Our last talk was held in June at Scargo Café where attendees ordered what they wanted from the Scargo menu and then received a separate check. Everyone loved the format. We can only accommodate 30 people so seats will likely move quickly. Call or stop by to sign up; the cost is $10.
Save the date: September 23,2024. Chase will be hosting Ann Hood at the Sea View. Her new book is fascinating and very different from her other novels!
The Library Speakers Consortium, which is where we get our wonderful online author talks and speaker events, is changing things up a bit for July by featuring authors of kid and young adult books. Please check the next page for a preview of the events! There’s one you should definitely watch!
Be well
