If you have visited the Children’s Library, you may have noticed our pet hedgehog Sassafras. She is usually asleep during the day under her cozy fleece blanket, only making special appearances for meet and greets, class visits, and story times. If you have yet to see her, trust us, she is a cutie!
Lately, Miss Sassafras has not been feeling well, resulting in a trip to the vet. For the past week, library staff have been treating her with a grape flavored antibiotic. She is a bit squirmy, but has been an overall good patient. We are hoping that this medicine will do the trick and have her back to her sassy self.
For those of you that know Sassafras, send some love her way and wish her well!
So the Putnam County Library just got a bunch of new board/dice/card games donated to us by the wonderful people of our community through a great partnership with Bob’s Games and Collectibles, and we want to give that gift of games right back to the community that helped us build it. With this in mind we will be launching our Family Game Night on the first Monday of every month at 5:30 p.m.(barring times we might be closed) starting this month. Much like our Adult Game Night that happens on the 3rd Monday of every month, this will be an open forum for gaming where we provide all the games we have to offer and guests can bring any games they think are appropriate and fun for everyone to try. The difference is that this game night is open to everyone not just adults. We encourage entire families to come play and build up family bonds (or tear them down depending on how competitive you are), but individuals of all ages are also welcome to attend.
The Putnam County Library is proud to announce a new partnership with Synergy Studio and The Treehouse at North Hall of TTU. We have established a new and exciting group called “Upper Cumberland Community Meditation”. Upper Cumberland Community Meditation is a group of diverse individuals from a variety of traditions who seek to cultivate inner peace and mindfulness as a part of everyday life. We gather at various locations in the Cookeville area for regular community meditation experiences.
