Groundhog Day is on Tuesday the 2nd; it will determine IF we will be having spring early. If you want snow, wish that it sees its own shadow! Happy Valentine’s Day and it comes on a Sunday this year. President’s Day is on the 15th, and Elizabeth Peratrovich Day is on the 16th. (see http://library.thinkquest.org/11313/Early_History/Native_Alaskans/elizabeth.html) for more information on Elizabeth Peratrovich). I just finished entering the new books the Village Council bought through the Book Fair into the system. Books we bought were mainly adult fiction, some Alaska books and some easy books. Please stop by the library to take a look at the new selection we have. I put the new books in a section in their own “spot,” so they will be easier to find.
