On The Shelves
By Shannon Romtvedt
Library Craft Boxes are now
available at the library! One for Pre-K
and one for K-6. Crafts will be switched
out every 3-4 weeks. Sign out for one
of the boxes at the check-out desk and
make a craft to take home. Crafts are
generally themed to match a holiday or
event. For the remainder of this month,
kids can make Cat in the Hat masks in
anticipation of Dr. Seuss’s Birthday at
the beginning of March.
Dr. Seuss’s Birthday (March
2) is celebrated by libraries every
year, and has become a national event
also known as the National Education
Association’s (NEA) Read Across
America Day. This year, the Vernonia
Public Library is participating in the
celebration with a program sponsored
by the Friends of the Library. Come
to the library on Tuesday, March 3, 6
pm and get a picture taken with the Cat
in the Hat! Bring your own camera or
the library will provide a picture for
free. Find Dr. Seuss characters hidden
throughout the library anytime between
Monday, March 2 and Saturday, March
7, and enter a prize drawing.
Interested in joining a Writers’
Group? The library will be hosting
a monthly writers’ group, open to all
levels of experience. Meetings will
likely start with a prompt and follow
with an opportunity to share work,
ask questions, and seek support from
other writers. We are looking for the
best day and time to meet so if you are
interested, please call, visit, or email
the library. Leave your name, contact
information, and days and times that
work best for you.
Friends of the Vernonia
Library Spring Booksale is coming
up Friday, March 13 – Sunday, March
15. Purchasing books from the sale is
a way to support the library. Proceeds
from the booksale help fund library
programs and services. Please mark

Many people don’t realize that they may
be able to use life insurance to help pay
off a mortgage, pay for an education, or be
part of a sound retirement plan. Let’s get

needs.
