Chichester Town Library News
Easter is over, and we
hope everyone was able to celebrate it in their own way. We
want to thank a few people who have been working hard for the past
few weeks on events. Thanks to Barbara Pappas and the Lovers
of the Chichester Library who sponsored and staffed four time slots
for teachers from area schools to come and select books, at no cost
to them, that they would find useful for their classrooms.
Those who came were pleasantly surprised with the vast selection and
left with numerous books in their bags.
We also want to thank the
Teen Group for hosting the Bingo and Bake Sale evening last Friday.
What a wonderful way to go into the holiday weekend.
Tonight, Wednesday, the
first event in a series will begin at 6 p.m. involving the PJ Masks
superheroes, Catboy, Owlette and Gekko. They do their sleuthing and
crime fighting at night while the children are asleep. Bring
the kids and join us as the PJ Masks are introduced through an hour
of reading/storytelling. Additional events are being planned
for the rest of April, too.
This Saturday, April 7th,
is the first Down Cellar Used Book Sale of the season. It
starts at 8 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m. We’re looking forward
to seeing the regular clientele, as well as new patrons.
Shelving of books has been ongoing, so there should be a broad
selection! The theme of the sale is “Spring into Action.”
See you there! (The book area downstairs will be closed to the
public tomorrow and Friday for set-up.)
The Board of Trustees
will be meeting on Monday, April 9th, at 4 p.m. at the library.
This is an open meeting.
The Evening Book Club
will be meeting on Wednesday, April 11th, at 7 p.m.
A special event is
planned for Wednesday, April 18th at 7 p.m. The library is
sponsoring Rich Araldi in a vibraphone concert. Please see the
separate article on this.
Copies of the Town Report
are available at the library.
Rich Araldi Vibraphone Concert April18th
Chichester Town Hall/Grange
The Chichester Library is
pleased to sponsor Rich Araldi in concert at the Town Hall, 54 Main
Street, on Wednesday evening, April 18th, at 7 p.m. The
vibraphone, sometimes called the vibraharp or simply the vibes, is a
musical instrument in the mallet subfamily of the percussion family
and is similar in appearance to the xylophone, marimba and
glockenspiel. Mr. Araldi plays all types of music, including jazz
and popular music through the decades, and even the big band/swing
era. He also intersperses stories, trivia and facts throughout
the performance. This is a family-friendly program and is free
to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
