Celebration of the Christmas Trees

This year will mark our 21st Annual Celebration of the Christmas Trees.

Celebration of the Christmas Trees is a fundraiser from the Friends of the Shelby Library where artists and crafters can decorate a tree with home made ornaments or decorate the tree however you would like.  When the trees are up and ready at the Library, the artists and crafters come over, decorate their tree and for Four days people can bid on the tree they want.  At the end of the fourth day whomever is the highest bidder wins the tree.  They get the tree, the ornaments and the lights.  And the money goes to the Friends of the Library who try to help the Library out with more shelving, books or even programs that the library needs to do.

On Saturday and Sunday the Library is filled with music provided by the High School Choir and Band; while other local singers come and share their love of Christmas Carols.

A fun and exciting time for family and friends to get together and join in the Christmas Spirit and eat cookies and have a cup of jo while sitting by the fireplace listening to beautiful children sing Christmas songs.

The Libraries Book Club "Book Tasting" entered a Christmas Tree filled with book page ornaments, gingerbread Michigan cookies, and bookmarks showcasing what they have read over the past year :)

Here are a few pictures to showcase the spirit that the Library gets into with the Celebration of the Trees.

Everyone really had a lot of fun looking at all the different things that people can make; how all different kinds of organizations can get together and bring so much joy into the community it's just wonderful.

Merry Christmas to one and all!!

Guided Reading Level for Your Children

Here at the Shelby Library we love to help out.  Anything the public needs, we try our best to help them out. Now I'm not saying that we work miracles or anything, but if we can't find the answers we try to help you find someone who can!! Many of the times we would be getting patrons to come in that just needs to find a business.  Whether it be the businesses phone number, fax number or just point to where the building is!!  Many patrons heard a book on the radio and would love to read it, but just can't remember the title nor the author.  But they remember the radio station!!  We also get some people that come in and say I picked up this book not realizing it was part of the series.  Do you know the titles of the others and do you have them?  Or they saw a book on the book stand somewhere and want to read it but just can't remember the title nor the author, nor what it's all about but knows for sure, for sure that the cover of the book was Blue!   Those are jus

Happy New Year, Monkey

I know this is long overdue but.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! It has been very busy at the Library trying to get back at the pace of actually working.  Checking on book overdue, getting back into the habit of checking in and out books, helping people finding books, (remembering where everything is) and of course picking up that pesky habit of actually waking up and getting out of bed. :) The Library had no trouble picking up the pace though.  People coming in after the holidays looking for new books to check out; needing help with their NEW Nooks, Kindles and iPads that they got for Christmas; faxing, making copies for their work.  Or just people need to check their emails.  Just getting back in the habit of day to day lives.  Seeing familiar faces, talking about what we did on our Christmas/New Years vacation, who did we see.  And then seeing new faces just dropping by, on their way home but need a print of their plane tickets.   Now it is starting be like any other day so I have take
