April Newsletter
Dear Patrons and Friends of Chase Library,
Spring is here! It is, isn’t it? As I write this newsletter, I realize that the cold, rainy weather we were experiencing when I wrote the March Newsletter is still with us!!!!! I am so very weary of the gloom and rain. But then I think, perhaps Mother Nature knows it will be a hot, dry summer and she is giving the earth all it will need to sustain itself in the coming months. Maybe Mother Nature is simply protecting her trees and the beauty of our world. I can live with that!!
(Edit: And here it is – Saturday morning, March 30, and the SUN is shining beautifully! What a difference a day makes!)
Let’s get to the news, shall we?
Instead of giving you the lineup of events happening at Chase in April, I am going to share some exciting goings-on!!
It is well-past time for the once full-time Librarian - now acting-Librarian, Claire Gradone, to finally move to full retirement. We cannot express how much she has taught the Board and how beloved she is by patrons and Board members alike. In more ways than we can count, Chase Library is in a much better place now than in 2013! Claire taught us that patrons are always our first priority, that a library stands on its policies and regulations, that there is always room for growth, and to always be proud of our very small but delightfully charming library.
While we will miss Clare greatly, it is time to face reality. And in doing so, I can say that we all wish her much joy in her retirement. So, in the coming weeks you can expect to see ads in the local papers as the Board of Trustees advertises for our next librarian.
At the same time, the Board is looking to add one, possibly two, individuals to its Board of Trustees. If you, or anyone you know is interested, please call Chase during business hours. (508-432-2610) We can set up a mutually agreed upon time and place for a conversation about membership.
Now, on to Chase Library programming!
April is the final month of our in-house winter programs at Chase. Two programs are planned. We can’t quite believe we managed to offer seven popular programs this winter!!
On April 2, at 2 pm, Mike Gradone will provide us with a presentation regarding the “History of Baseball on Cape Cod from the Civil War to the Present Day” and all that is entailed in the new name, image, and likeness rules. Mike has been involved with the Cape Cod Baseball League for many years. His will give us a unique presentation of how times have changed!
On April 9, also at 2 pm, our own volunteer-extraordinaire, Anne Donoghue, will lead participants in the art of card making using the Iris Paper Piecing Method. The class is limited to 16 and pre-registration is required. There are only a few spaces left so if you wish to attend plan to register asap.
Our online April Author Talks (accessible from our website) include three very different topics.
Disclaimer: I have tried to learn a few new skills with regard to our online events. After each event’s listing there is See More and Register in blue ink and underlined. If I have done it correctly in this newsletter, you should be able to click on the link provided below See More and Register which then takes you directly to our website where you can register for the talk. Fingers Crossed it will work!!
