The Season of Gratitude
by Sno Isle Libraries
In the season of thankfulness, the library provides many things to be grateful for. Like the never-ending pages of a great novel — each chapter of library resources and services brings a new surprise of gratitude! Let’s dive into the treasure trove that your local libraries offer.
Silver Screen Gratitude – DVDs and Streaming
Movies capture moments, emotions, and tales that resonate with our souls. Whether you’re revisiting a classic or discovering a new favorite, every film is a chance to be grateful for stories that touch our hearts and spark our imaginations. sno-isle.org/movies-tv
A Chance for Connection – Music Appreciation Events and More
Live music sessions at the library are a symphony of gratitude. Each note played is a testament to the power of community and shared experiences. Enjoy “An Afternoon with Oyster Bay Trio” for a mix of country, light jazz, and folk rock (Dec. 2 at the Coupeville Library). Beyond music, an array of events, from board games (Nov. 4 at the Clinton Library) to Medicare enrollment workshops (Nov. 18 at the Freeland Library), exemplify the library’s role as a nurturing space for all. sno-isle.org/events
Pages of Thanks – Book Sales
One can truly appreciate the wonder of a book, especially when it comes at a discounted price. Every Friends of the Library book sale (first Saturdays at the Freeland Library) offers treasures at a fraction of their original cost. As you hold a novel, think of the many hands it might have passed through, each reader leaving a trace of their journey. Plus, buying from a library book sale means you’re supporting your community library.
Embracing New Experiences – Drop-in Tech Help
Thankfulness often blossoms when we embrace new experiences. The Freeland Library’s tech help sessions every Thursday are a bridge to understanding. It’s more than assistance; it’s a kind-hearted gesture reminding us that learning has no age limit.
A Digital Journey of Gratitude
Navigating through the library’s digital resources is akin to a modern-day adventure. Each eBook, article, and online event offers a new perspective, a new story, and a new reason to be thankful for the vast knowledge at our fingertips.
Crafting Memories – DIY Holiday Gifts
The library’s collection about DIY crafts and holiday gifts is a testament to the joy of giving. Crafting a handmade gift is about the love, thought, and gratitude woven into every stitch and brushstroke. Try Creativebug, a new online crafting resource featuring video tutorials and projects at sno-isle.org/creativebug. Topics include drawing, painting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, quilting, baking, and more, with downloadable patterns, templates, and recipes.
Culinary Gratitude – Cookbooks
Food is an expression of love and culture to be shared with loved ones. With every recipe tried out from the library’s extensive cookbook collection, there’s an underlying story, a legacy, and a heartfelt thank you to the generations that have passed down culinary wisdom.
