Page 12 - Wednesday, December 13, 2023 The Jenkins County Times j enkinscountytimes. com Get your holiday books now By Sharon Blank, Special Contributor for The Sylvania Times Hurry as fast as you can to the library - because we’re having a nice long Christmas break this year! The library will be closed from Thursday, December 21 through Tuesday, December 26, and will reopen on Wednesday, December 27. We will also be closed on Monday, January 1 for New Year’s Day. This of course means that if you’re addicted to reading like so many of our patrons, you’ll want to come in and check out plenty of books and/or movies to keep yourself and your family members happy over the long weekend. If, however, you should happen to run out of reading or watching materials, you’re in luck! We have two wonderful apps available for free with your library card that will help you enjoy yourselves while the library is closed. First off is Libby, where you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks and download them to your phone, tablet, or computer without ever leaving your couch. Second is our newer service, Kanopy! You can watch streaming videos, documentaries, and TV shows from any location that has internet service, and they’re all amazing. Whether you would like an Oscar-winning romance or a class on cooking healthy (especially important with all the goodies you’ll find everywhere this time of year) you can settle in and enjoy quality entertainment and information. Got kids that are bored? There’s loads of award winning children’s programs and movies as well, ranging from Sesame Street to read-along storybooks to lessons in science, math and languages! Want to know more about what’s happening at the library, and what that inventive elf Daniel is up to now? Head over to www.facebook.com/jenkinscountymemoriallibrary and find out!
