Census 2010

As of April 20th the North Judson-Wayne Township Library no longer has any of the census papers in-house. Apparently they have moved on to the next stage and if you haven't filled in a questionnaire you should receive a visit from a census worker sometime in the future.

Howdy, mom let me do the write up about the READ Fur Me, Jr. Story Hour  program for May 1st.  She said we were going to do something about hands today.  Maybe that means that everyone is going to pet me!  Anyway, if you come you'll get to hear a story or two, make something and learn a fingerplay.  Hey, you'll have to use your hands for those last two things.   I'll be waiting for you at the library at 11 a.m.

After that's all done I'll be hanging around for some of you older kids to READ to me.  While mom reads well I always like to hear other people read to me.  So from 12 noon until 3 p.m. I'll be waiting at the library.  Hope you'll stop in to share a book with me.

Local Children's Author to do Book Signing

On Saturday, April 17th, local author Ingrid Odenthal will be reading her book "The Warm Heart" at the North Judson-Wayne Township Library as part of our National Library Week celebration.

The reading will take place at 11:15 a.m. as part of READ Fur Me, Jr. and afterwards Mrs. Odenthal will be available until 2 p.m. to sign copies of her book.

Winner of the Framed raffle

North Judson Framed a success

If you came to the North Judson-Wayne Township Library on February 6 you might have had a difficult time finding a place to park. Beside the children and parents who came for the READ and READ, Jr. programs and the typical Saturday library patrons, the library was flooded with visitors to the new “North Judson Framed” exhibit sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

All day visitors toured the main floor and lower level of the library, enjoying exhibits, photos and memorabilia donated by, or on loan from, members of the community. In some cases they were able to clear up questions about photos by furnishing information about the scenes or people in them. In addition to viewing the exhibit, visitors were able to sign up to become a Friend of the Library and for a chance to win a lap afghan crocheted by Linda Leonard, which was won by Alice F. Dolezal of San Pierre.

But this exhibition would not have been possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Library, who provided frames and other resources; Sandy Whitenack, who took on the enormous task of framing the photos and displaying them, and the memorabilia, to their best advantage; Kareen Nielsen, who ably assisted Sandy; and Craig Roher, who is working on the ongoing project “A Walk Down Lane Street” project.

To these individuals, as well as everyone who has ever purchased anything at a Friends of the Library fundraiser (Mint Festival Book Sale, cookie walk, pie sale, Mint Festival Beauty Pageant Concession stand), the North Judson-Wayne Township Library would like to express their deepest thanks.Your contributions not only help to support the library, but the community as a whole.

Are you addicted to YARN?

Have your family and friends come to believe that your knitting needles or crochet hooks are a permanent part of your anatomy?

Are you experienced in knitting/crocheting and willing to help a beginner?

Are you a rank beginner looking for someone to explain where you’re going wrong?

The North Judson-Wayne Township Library would like to get the expert, the beginner and everyone in-between together. We are interested in starting a knitting/crocheting club where like-minded people can gather to knit, crochet, share patterns, and just talk. This would be an informal group and we are considering having both afternoon and evening sessions.

So if you are a yarn addict and are interested in forming a knitting/crochet group contact Sandi by:

• phone - 574-896-2841
• email - lib.norjud@gmail.com
• snail mail - 208 Keller Ave., North Judson, Indiana 46366
• or just come into the library.

North Judson - Framed!

The Friends of the North Judson-Wayne Township Library invite you to join them for “A Walk Down Lane Street” February 6 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

As you travel the halls and rooms of the library’s lower level, you will view photos and memorabilia invoking memories of our town. If you spot a person, place or thing that you recognize but we didn’t, please be sure to drop a note into our “mailbox”.

Also, if you have a copy of a North Judson-San Pierre yearbook from 1965. 1973, 1981, 1996, or 2008 you would like to donate to complete the library’s collection please contact us at 574-896-2841.
