Just in time for Christmas,
library holds book sale
-Sharon Blank
If you’re looking for something for the reader in your life, stop by the library and check out our
book sale. We have dozens of books available for purchase, and they’re only $1 per bag!
Our storytimes are back, and we’re making them holly-jolly this month! Every Tuesday at 4 pm,
we read the kids a book (or two) and do a fun craft related to the story. It’s a ton of fun for the little
ones!
The library will be closing for the Christmas holiday on Thursday, December 23 and will reopen on
Tuesday, December 28. The library will also be closed on Saturday, January 1 and Monday, January
3 for New Year’s, and will reopen on Tuesday, January 4.
Just because we will be closed for the holiday doesn’t mean that you can’t use our resources, though!
We have several ways for you to borrow free ebooks and audiobooks for yourself and your children.
First, there’s Libby, where you can read ebooks and audiobooks right on your phone, tablet, or com
puter. Then there’s eRead Kids, a great place to find children’s ebooks and audiobooks for them to
read on a phone or tablet.
More in the mood to do some serious research on health, history, Georgia law, and more? Head over
to GALILEO at www.galileo.edu to check out the amazing collection of resources covering every
thing from genealogy to learning languages. And because we’ve joined the OpenAthens community,
you’ll be able to access it all just like signing in on your PINES account.

New at the library
“The Lincoln Highway”by
Amor Towles. In 1954, 18
year old Emmett Wilson is
driven back to his family home
by the warden of the juvenile
work camp he’d spent the last
15 months in serving time for
involuntary manslaughter. His
parents are both dead, but Em
mett figures he can pick up his
eight-year-old brother and head
out to California to start a new life. But as soon as the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that
two of his friends from the work camp snuck into the trunk of the warden’s car and are there with
him, and planning to head for New York. The next ten days will change all of their lives. Well, that’s
all for now - see you at the library!
Rotary donates food items

Thanksgiving. The Rotary Club is a civic organization with the founding principles
of “people united to create lasting change.” The Millen Rotary works tirelessly
throughout the year to make a difference in the Jenkins County community, (photo

The Jenkins County Chamber of Commerce Memorial Tree Lighting service had a record 50 participants in this year’s program. Each year the Jenkins County Chamber of Commerce asks for the com
munity’s support in purchasing either a light or a star on the town Christmas tree located on Cotton Avenue next to the caboose. All of the money raised for this program is used to provide scholarships to
local high school seniors in memory of Nancy Wolfinger. Nancy was a Chamber member and director for many years.
