Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library has started a new procedure for checking out DVD’s. You can browse through the cases of our DVD collection and when you find the ones you’d like to borrow, just take the cases to the Circulation Desk and we will provide you with the corresponding DVD’s. Remember it only costs 50 cents to borrow a movie for two whole days!
We’ve had to start this new process of lending DVD’s due to the large volume of movies that have been stolen from us. The most recent months have been the worst. Everyone suffers in harsh economic times and that does not exclude libraries. Here is a list of all the titles we are missing:

If you know anyone who might be in possession of any of these DVD’s please ask them to return them to the library. Anyone can drop them off anonymously using our Book Drop on the side of the building. We do not care who took them, we would just like them returned so that other people can enjoy them. The average cost of a DVD including processing here at the library to get them ready for lending is roughly $20. Take that cost and multiply it by 67 DVD’s and you have a total of $1,340 worth of materials that have been stolen. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that this is a shame. Help us make this right by returning any DVD’s or asking anyone you know who has them to return them.
Our new knitting and crocheting group, the Clickers, will be meeting again on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30 here in the Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library Community Room. Ever wanted to learn how to knit or crochet? Are you currently working on knitting or crocheting projects? Perhaps you have a few pearls of wisdom about these fun activities that you’d like to share? If you can answer yes to any of these questions then you should come hang out with us! This new group is open to all ages. If you have any questions call Nancy or Judy at 473-3800.
Be sure to stop by the library during our Christmas in November weekend starting Thursday, November 6th and going until Saturday, November 8th! We will have special hours those three days where we will open at 9 AM and close at 5 PM. We will have a variety of vendors here including Liz Montomery who will have Beany Babies for all you Beany Baby fanatics out there! Ever wondered about Pampered Chef? Wanna know more? Mindy Carnathan will be here all three days to answer questions, set up parties, and show off some goods! We have a few others coming as well! We hope to see you!
November’s Adult Book Discussion Group has been moved to a week later – Thursday, November 20th at 7 PM. Come discuss Khaled Hosseini’s debut novel, The Kite Runner with a lively group of individuals, led by our discussion leader, Karen Jordan. A National Bestseller, this book is sure to provide some great thought-provoking discussion. Come join us in the Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library Community Room!
Last but not least, don’t forget about the Third Annual Clarion County Live & Silent Auction at the American Legion on Main St. in Clarion, PA on Friday, November 7th! Each year the CCLS puts on an Evening of Bidding, Mingling, and Music in efforts to raise money for the Summer Reading Programs of the five libraries of the county. Thanks to all the wonderful attendees and bidders last year each library was able to obtain over $700 in proceeds! Those funds greatly helped the libraries purchase supplies like books, t-shirts, activity items, and snacks for the kids, as well as prizes and awards for the end of the summer.
The evening will begin with appetizers, a cash bar, and then the auction. So far there are a myriad of items to be auctioned off including stools, benches, boxes, chairs, windows, and more! Each item is hand-painted by artists from around the area in accordance with a theme from a chosen children’s book. You can imagine some of the great works of art this blend of craftiness produces! And just think! You could own one!
Following the auction a DJ will be providing great music so you can dance the night away! Doors will open Friday, November 7th at 6:30 PM and the Auction will begin at 7:30 PM. Tickets can be purchased from any of the 5 libraries in the county for just $10 per person. This cost includes admittance, refreshments, and great entertainment! If you’re all booked up that night but still want to support your local libraries and children’s reading programs feel free to stop by your local library and donate $10 for a ticket. Your community will thank you! If you have any questions contact Jessica Modrzejewski, System Administrator at 226-6340!
