Library announces news, events The Madison County Library has announced its news and events for February: •Friends Membership Drive: “The membership drive continues through March; please lend your support,” organizers said.

The Spring Book Sale will be March 20 to March 28, open during all library hours. A special preview sale for Friends members only will be Thursday, March 19, from 5 to 8 p.m. “If you have any free time between now and the book sale volunteers are desperately needed to begin sorting the room full of donated books,” organizers said. Those interested in helping can contact Sara Carter at 706-795-2952. •Pajama Story time: Thursday, Feb. 26, at 7 p.m. “Snuggle up in your jammies with your favorite stuffed animals and listen to bedtime stories at the library,” organizers said. "We will have a small snack, peaceful winter tales and a song or two.” This program is appropriate for all ages. •Library Sewing Group: This Wednesday afternoon craft group meets from 1 to 3 in the general purpose room. They work on new and ongoing projects in all mediums and with members of all ages. This month’s new project is different techniques of mg making — locker hooking, crocheting strips of fabric and old fashion hooking. They will also be crocheting baskets. “If you have a project you need some help with or just want to share please come join them on Wednesdays,” organizers said. •Young Adult Book Discussion: This month they will meet Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 4:30 p.m. They are reading “Septimus Heap” by Angie Sage. The program is free and includes free food. •Chapter Book Revue: Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon beginning at 4:30 “Miss Jennifer” will be in the lobby reading from “Nancy Drew Secret of the Old Clock” by Carolyn Keene. •Preschool and Toddler Story Time: "Your child's first introduc tion to reading: read with them and watch them succeed!” organizers said.

This month’s themes are: Valentine’s Day, the Letter Y and Birds. •Computer Classes: Free and open to everyone.

Week two will get you started with email, get your very own address for free. The third week will make sending and receiving attachments a breeze. Week four will be a fun-filled Internet scavenger hunt and Google training. Sessions are on Tuesdays from 2 to 3 p.m., Tuesday from 7 to 8 p.m., or Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to noon. “Please pre-register as this is not a drop-in-style class,” organizers said. “Our evening class has been changed from Thursday to Tuesday due to staff scheduling.” JACKSON EMC CREWS HELP OUT IN KENTUCKY After helping to restore power to around 30,000 customers, three Jackson Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) crews returned last week to Georgia after nearly two weeks in Western Kentucky, where they worked to restore power to customers of West Kentucky Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation (RECC). At the height of the storm, West Kentucky RECC suffered 1,500 broken power poles, and all of the cooperative’s more than 35,000 customers in a six-county area were without power. Jackson EMC’s comprised of eight employees from Jefferson, six from Oakwood and six from Neese worked alongside personnel from West Kentucky RECC who have worked around the clock with local and out-of-state crews since last week’s storm. Pictured (L-R) are Alan Simmons, Lineman, Neese District; Darren Bradberry, Lineman, Neese District; and Matt Elrod, Lineman, Jefferson District, working in Farmington, Ky., Saturday, Feb. 7. ROTARY BUILDS RAMP FOR JOHNSON Rachel Johnson recently fell off her porch steps and received three broken ribs and toes. She was home alone, and lay outside for four to six hours before she was found. Now she’s using a wheelchair to get around and needed a ramp. Rebecca Finch called Rotary and requested a ramp for her. The Johnsons have lived in Madison County for over 32 years, and once lived in Colbert. Her father, Herman L. Armstrong, was the Depot Railroad Agent there for many years. She has also worked in Athens at Dupont and General Times for several years. The Johnsons said they really appreciated the work of the Rotarians and donated $400 toward the construction of the ramp, so that someone else could receive one. Workers on the ramp included Roy Gandy, Pat Quinn, Jerry Bond, Artry Bishop, Bob Anderson, Calvin Ward, Jack Chandler, Alton Rowe, Erwin Hardeman, Jerry Black and Johny Bond.
