FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
January is Membership Month
Please join the Friends in our work for the library during the year. We will be focusing on adult programs and our Book Store - which is open during library hours every day except Sunday
Not a friend yet? Membership is easy. Adults join for an annual donation of $10 and students and seniors (60 & over) for just $5 per year. Students $3. This is a very important way you can help in your community.

FRIENDS BOOK CLUB
Are you looking for a book club to join? The Friends have sponsored the Page turners for several years and we usually have 8 or more sharing views on the book we’ve just read for that month. We meet on Mondays at 7 pm at the library.
The Schedule for the next couple of months is:
January 18, 2010 - 7 P.M. "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie" - Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrow~~January 1946:London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb....304 pages.
February 15, 2010 - 7 P.M. "Have a Little Faith" - Mitch Albom~~When times get rough you start to drift back to something you once had and you wonder why you let it go in the first place....272 pages.
March 15, 2010 - 7 P.M. "The Road" - Cormac McCarthy~~A boy and his father lurch across the cold, wretched, wet, corpse-strewn, ashen landscape of a post-apocalyptic world. Mr. McCarthy brings and almost biblical fury as he bears witness to sights man was never meant to see....241 pages.
If you are ready for such a discussion evening which lasts about an hour, sign up at the library to be a part of this fun group. And don’t forget about our BOOK STORE in the library, where most books are $2.00!
FOUNDING FATHERS PROJECT
We continue to add stories and pictures for our long range project on local family history in Center Line and Warren. You can see some family names in our street signs.
We need to borrow old yearbooks and class pictures so our historian Wesley Arnold can microfilm them. They will be returned to you. This will enable them to be made available to our patrons.Do you know of someone who may have graduated in the 1920's, 1930's or 1940's? We want to rescue this history. Especially interesting are early pictures of local homes. Please consider helping this community project.
History and historic pictures of the Center Line area can be seen through the efforts of Mike Grobbel and local historian Wesley E Arnold. See mor on Center Line History at:
