Ukulele for Beginners

February 10, 2020/in Blog, Library Events, Library Services/by Elizabeth, Reference Services Manager

Music brings people together. Playing musical instruments, on the other hand, offers an opportunity to engage the mind and express the soul. Bringing ukuleles to the community for the first monthly session of Ukulele classes offered in the Dabble Box extended this opportunity to adults and children in one room at the same time. Brought […]

February Goals

February 3, 2020/in Blog, Curiosities, Library Services, Special Interest/by Stephanie, Reference Services

Okay, everyone. Don’t panic. February is here again. Last year, the month of February did its best to break our spirits through record-setting snowfall and feeling like the longest month ever, despite only having 28 days. This year it has 29 days, but it’s going to be okay. February can be a trying month. The […]

More Sweet Local Music!

January 13, 2020/in Blog, Library Services, Staff Picks/by Jon, Reference Services

While all these new albums have the fact that they’re local in common, you’ll be surprised at how diverse the sounds of each one is. If you’re looking to rock out, check out Stumpt’s Um, What? or Drunk Drivers’ It’s Always Weekend.  For more acoustic heavy sets, AncientMelody by Past & Present, Phase 1 by […]

Local Produce

January 6, 2020/in Blog, Library Services, Special Interest, Your Community/by Kevin, Reference Assistant

With New Year comes new resolutions, and a popular one for many is to eat better. A great way to do so is to join community-supported agriculture (CSA). Joining a CSA requires a payment and, in return, you’ll receive farm-fresh produce and possibly other items such as eggs or honey regularly during the spring, summer, […]

New Year’s Resolution Goals!

December 30, 2019/in Blog, Curiosities, Library Services, Special Interest/by Bradley, Reference Services

If you’re like me, you are not all too fond of the traditional New Year’s Resolution. If so, you may have tried and inevitably failed or perhaps you were intuitive/pessimistic enough to know it would fail before even starting. It’s also possible that the notion of fixing yourself has rubbed you the wrong way. Then […]

Winter Blues

December 9, 2019/in Blog, Community Resource Posts, Library Events, Library Services, Special Interest, Your Community/by Libby, Community Resources Specialist

For many, the winter season can bring cheer, family connections, and gratitude. Winter is also known to bring depression, stress, isolation, sleep disturbances, and health issues. No one is completely immune to the stress that winter can bring, and each person has a different balance of the positive and negatives that this season brings. If […]

Baking News!

November 25, 2019/in Blog, Curiosities, Library Services, Special Interest/by Stephanie, Reference Services

The L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library is jumping on the cake wagon and joining the many public libraries with cake pan collections! You batter believe it! Libraries around the country have been curating collections of cake pans for decades. Specialty cake pans can be expensive, especially considering how infrequently most people use them.
