November Events  
   
November at LME Library
The Biggest Loser Fall Season just ended at Lillie M. Evans Library.  We had 35 participants who lost a total of 200.3 pounds!  The average loss was 5.7 pounds or 2.6% during the 8-week program.  Our biggest loser was Tiffany D. who lost a whopping 11.5% of her total body weight-incredible!  Congratulations to all participants for working hard to shed those pounds and stay fit.  Watch for additional fitness events in 2013. 

Our Red Scarf Project is off to a good start.  So far we have collected 20 handmade scarves.  These scarves will be distributed by Foster Care 2 Success in February 2013.  Guidelines are available on the LME Library website http://lmelibrary.org and scarves will be collected through December 1st.  If you don't know how to crochet but are willing to learn, there are 2 programs scheduled in November to help you master the art of single and double crochet.  Please join us on November 7 and Nov 14 and bring a "size H" crochet hook.  We will have work sessions from 2:30-3:30 pm or 5-6 pm both days, and we have yarn available to get you started.  If you already know how to crochet and want to help, you can join us too!

Our popular Glass Ornament program is scheduled November 12 at 6 pm.  This program is for participants 13 years and older.  Please register by calling the library (385-4540) or by completing our online registration through our website.  Don't forget to bring in a photograph-it's needed to complete your ornament.

Thursday, November 15th is Illinois Family Reading Night 2012. Join us at the LME Library from 6:15-7:45 pm for the Amazing Reading Race.  Family teams will compete head to head in a read-around-town scavenger hunt.  All family members welcome.  Teams must include grade schoolers.  Prizes will be awarded!    

Our Friends of the Library group now has a book sale corner in the library.  A selection of fiction, non-fiction, children's, and
non-print materials are available every day.  Everything is a
free-will donation so no prices are marked.  Over the years, the Friends have supported the library by donating materials, furniture, equipment, and funds for children's programs. Books and materials can be donated all year long.


November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, the world's largest writing event.  Participants pledge to write 50,000 words in a month, starting from scratch and reaching "The End" by November 30th.  So how can you participate?  Go to http://nanowrimo.org/ to register and for more information.  Peoria NaNoWriMo participants can also find local events and community members at http://nanowrimo.org/en/regions/usa-illinois-peoria.  NaNoWriMo is a great time to start that novel you've always meant to write!
