Phoenix Public Library

The Phoenix Public Library will hold a book sale from Saturday May 18th to Saturday May 25th in the Century Club Room.  Saturday, May 18th - only - the sale will be from 8 AM to 4 PM to coordinate with the village wide garage sale.  Starting Monday, May 20th, the sale will run during regular library hours.  Hardcover books are 2 for $1.00, paperbacks are 6 for $1.00 and we have books on tape, VHS tapes and children's books available for reasonable prices.  Proceeds from the sale benefit the library.  Thank you to all the people who have donated all the books for our sale.

The Phoenix Public Library will hold a book signing for local author Charity Scholes who was born Charity Breckenridge in Phoenix, NY in 1961. Writing has always been a passion of hers, having started poetry as a child, journaling as a teen, and now her auto biography.  Her story is one of amazement at what a merciful, loving, forgiving God can do with a life that had been torn to shreds, and then handed to Him in a thousand pieces. Her book is Shattered Dreams - extra-ordinary events in the life of an ordinary woman.  This event is free and open to the public.

Mrs. Burnatowski, a regular contributor to the writing workshop held at the library, has published her first novel, Death in Sight.   She has donated a copy to the library that will soon be ready for circulation.  This work is currently available from Amazon for the kindle reader and will soon be available from Barnes and Noble.  We are huge fans of Bonnie's fiction and we are thrilled she is sharing her work with us. 

Mrs. Sue Lynch, a retired teacher from the Phoenix Central Schools, will facilitate a writing workshop every other Wednesday evening next class is Wednesday, May 15th, 2013 from 6:30 PM to 8 PM at the library.  If you have always wanted to put pen to paper, this is the opportunity to write a story or to tell your family history or to share your poetry or even to tackle the prose for a cookbook.  Please bring your work with you.  Please call the library at 695-4355 to sign up and ask for Noreen Patterson for more information.
