The Island Film Group will bring Jimmy Stewart’s classic comedy, The Shop around the Corner, to the library at 7 pm on December 10th, and the Ferry Tales meeting on the 4:40 boat from Seattle December 11th will discuss Warmth of Other Suns, by Isabel Wilkerson.  Be sure to join them as they discuss this beautifully written chronicle of one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the south for northern and western cities, in search of a better life.

All this and more — including storytimes for babies, toddlers and preschoolers and the ever-popular Book-a-Computer-Trainer — available for you this month at the Bainbridge Island Library: don’t miss it!

On a special note: the Library will be closed December 24th and 25th, and will close at 5 December 31st.  Happy Holidays from your Bainbridge Island Library!
