Patti Lacy came to the library Tuesday evening to talk about An Irishwoman's Tale and how she gets the ideas for her books. She was a very entertaining speaker and encouraged us all to start writing, at least a little, every day. You can visit her website www.pattilacy.com to see more pictures of our little group and learn more about her books.

Those who attended the special programming sponsored by Rebbec Motor Company left with important information about safety. The programs offered at 10:30 and 12:30 at the library were attended by about 70 people. They heard how to stay safe in a tornado, what debri is, and how NOT to become it! We learned that radar only tells us what is happening every 6 minutes. The best source of information is a weather radio. The participants also heard about the Purple Tornado. This was a true story about a small community like ours here in Illinois. Eddy Weiss, the storm chaser who shared his knowledge with us, also made a visit to Heritage Manor to share with the residents. He brought the message that each of them had a great wealth of knowledge and experience to share with the younger generation. He ended the visit with the story of a stubborn senior citizen who, by her stubborness, saved her family. Eddy stopped by Rebbec Motor Company to thank Jeff Rebbec and the staff for sponsoring his visit to our community. Mr. Weiss' team of 10 storm chasers are funded by visits like this one to our community. About 40 people gathered in the park at 7:00 Thursday evening for the last program of a very informative day. If you would like to know more about Eddy's stormchasing team and their activities, you can visit his web site, chasing4life.com. Be watching for exciting news about Dorothy, Eddy's storm chasing vehicle!

A group of crocheters are continuing to meet each Wednesday morning at 10:00 during these lazy,hazy, and hot days of summer. Bring a project, a hook, an idea, or a desire to learn and 'hook' up with the group! The library is only open to crocheters at this time, so we can concentrate on our projects. Bring a friend.
