Current Events at the Library:

Due to an unexpected resignation, the library district has an opening on the Trustee Board for someone from the town of Underhill. This position will expire in March 2016. The Board meets once monthly on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00pm. All Board members work on subcommittees, such as Personnel and Fundraising. For more information, please contact Deb Weinberg, Trustee Board Chair at 802-899-3481 or stop into the Library to look at minutes of past meetings. To apply for the position, please complete a "Statement of Interest for Trustee of the Jericho Underhill Library District" and drop it off in my mailbox at the Library by May 25, 2013. The forms are available at the Library and will take only a few moments to complete.

Fold 'N Fly: Paper Airplanes
Come join Thad after school on Friday, May 24th from 2:45-4:15 to fold and fly a number of different paper airplanes. Our planes will be made using 3 to 15 folds so each one will have its own degree of difficulty. We'll use the great outdoors as our testing ground to see what each plane has to offer: Furthest distance, longest flight time, and best stunts. We'll even take a crash course in why a plane flies, and a brick does not. Please call 899-4962 to register.

The mystery book group will meet Tuesday May 28 at 7 PM to discuss "First Light" by Philip Craig. Please join us!

Join Abby Retzloff on Wednesday, May 29th at 10:15 for board books, lap rhymes and songs appropriate for babies 18 months and younger. This is a wonderful time for parents to connect with one another and to share ideas. Siblings welcome. Drop in, no registration needed.
