Delphi Public

Faith Based Book Club will meet March 18 at 9 a.m. to discuss “Edge of Eternity” by Randy Alcorn. This selection is a vivid and well-written picture of Heaven, Hell and choices we make day-today on this earth. Copies are available at the main desk.

There will be no Story Time scheduled during the week of Delphi’s spring break, March 22-26. It will return April 1 with the theme “Bunny Tales.” Marcia Sledd will keep toddlers and preschoolers hopping with Easter songs, games and stories.

In Stitches will meet March 22 at 6:30 p.m. to work on projects and share ideas on patterns and techniques. Anyone interested in sewing, knitting, quilting or fiber arts is welcome to join. Bring a project to work on and a snack to share.

Morning Book Club will meet March 26 at 9 a.m. to discuss “Dreaming in Cuban” by Cristina Garcia. This is the dreamy and bittersweet story of a family divided by politics and geography by the Cuban revolution.

“From Ethiopia to Indiana; One year later,” a program on international adoption has been rescheduled to March 29 at 7 p.m. It has been one year since Justin and Melissa Darling of Delphi brought Abeba, the newest member of their family to their home. The Darlings will share their experience of this past year with the adoption, Ethiopian culture and the journey that their family has made since bringing her home. A sampling of Ethiopian foods will be provided. Call to register for the program.

For information, call (765) 564-2929.

The income tax deadline is fast approaching, and basic tax forms are available in the technology center in the library. The government is limiting the variety and amounts of forms due to many people filing electronically. All forms and schedules can be accessed from the government websites.

These sites include downloadable forms, instructions and publications. Advanced search is available to find the specific form needed when itemizing. The library’s website, www.flora.lib.in.us, provides direct links to the Internal Revenue Service and the Indiana Department of Revenue. The technology center also offers free Internet access to patrons, as do our wireless laptops that are available to use in the library.

Clay sculptures are available for people to view in the display cabinet on the main level of the library. Second grade art students made textured turtles inspired by carved wooden turtles from Haiti. Third graders were introduced to slab, coil and modeling of clay. They proceeded to create “relief” house sculptures.

This spring the Flora Library, the American Library Association (ALA), and Woman’s Day magazine want to hear your thoughts on why the library is important to your community.

From now until May 9, women ages 18 and over can submit their story in 700 words or less. Up to four stories will be featured in the March 2011 issue of Woman’s Day or on womansday. com. Official rules can be found by following the link from the library’s website.

There will be no storytime during spring break week. You can still hear a great story by calling Dial-a-Story, 967-3814.
