Peggy Noonan, former Presidential speech writer, Wall Street Journal Columnist and CBS News contributor, offered an opinion piece on CBS Sunday Morning January 15, 2017, about inaugural addresses. (link to the piece below)
In it, she mentioned Abraham Lincoln's second Inaugural Address, given on March 4, 1865, as a "great inaugural masterpiece". Several years ago, Vermont historian Howard Coffin was doing some research at the Lanpher Library and pointed out a loose insert in our bound copies of the 1865 newspaper. It was Lincoln's second inaugural address printed by the Lamoille Newsdealer. Rather than risk damage or theft, our Trustees had it preserved in an archival frame. It now hangs in the Lanpher Memorial Library outside of the office door for all to see and read. ![]() The Lanpher Memorial Library will be open on Monday, January 16, 2017, 12:00-7:00. Stop in and discover books, audio books and DVDs written by and about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for whom this day is set aside to honor and remember. Night Owl Story Time takes place at 6:00 p.m. and our monthly Junior Naturalist Program will present: Snow Secrets: Do YOU know the secret of snow? How does a snowflake form and is every snowflake really different? How can snow keep things warm? Snowflake collection, observations, snow melting experiments and snow detective scavenger hunt are some of the activities to look forward to during this free program sponsored by LVVS. Thank you! In our Centennial Year we had much to look back on and celebrate...and much to look forward to! Please enjoy the slide show of the entries in our 100 Themed Community Art Exhibit. ![]() According to the National Weather Service, and Vermont's Own: Weathering Heights, Forecasting and Data Service, the weather is taking an icy turn later today. Therefore, the Lanpher Memorial Library will only be open today from 12:00-4:00 today, Monday, December 26th. Click on the pictures, or the white words to link to the websites for the full forecast. Stay Safe!!! We'll see you Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. Due to the Christmas and New Year Holidays, the Lanpher Library Schedule will have only a small difference in our schedule.
We will be closed on Saturday, December 24th and Saturday December 31st. We will have our regular Story Time programs on Mondays at 6:00 p.m. and Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. during the holiday weeks. :FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2ND IS THE HYDE PARK COMMUNITY CIRCLE ANNUAL VISIT WITH FROSTY THE SNOWMAN AT THE LANPHER LIBRARY & WREATH LIGHTING CEREMONY AT ST. TERESA'S PARISH HALL Children and their families are invited to participate in fun activities at the Lanpher Memorial Library beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, December 2nd. Frosty the Snowman will read stories, there will be a sing a long and a craft too. Afterward, families can catch the "Polar Express" bus to ride down to St. Teresa's Parish Hall to enjoy cookies and hot chocolate with other community members and to see the newly lighted wreaths. The bus will be available to transport back to the Library area to be closer to their parked cars following the event. For those who wish to attend only the Lighting Ceremony, it will begin at 7:00 at St. Teresa's Parish Hall, West Main St. in Hyde Park Village. Each light lit commemorates and acknowledges special people or events and as each name is read aloud, the wreaths become brighter, and brighter! Later, the wreaths will be hung in Hyde Park Village and in North Hyde Park for all to enjoy throughout the Holiday Season. ![]() VELI-STEM stands for "Vermont Early Literacy Initiative - Sceince Technology Engineering Math". The Lanpher Memorial Library is proud to be one of 26 Vermont libraries participating in this exciting project to bring science inquiry and physical science programs to our youngest community members! * Builds on children’s curiosity and interest * Provides opportunities for children to engage in cognitively challenging and motivating learning experiences * Builds a foundation for the development of important science concepts * Provides opportunities for the development of important language, social, and physical skills Children and families can expect to see more STEM concepts integrated into existing library programs, like story time and children's programs. Take look at the slide show on our Children's Corner page, to see how we applied the STEM concepts of Force and Motion! In August 2015, the Department of Libraries received a National Leadership Grant for Libraries award of $339,861 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to expand the Vermont Early Literacy Initiative (VELI). The National Leadership grant program is highly competitive and is designed to fund innovative grant projects which can serve as a model for replication across the country. The three-year grant project, VELI-STEM, a partnership of the Department of Libraries and the Vermont Center for the Book, will expand the VELI program in 26 selected public libraries to introduce librarian training and programming for young children, parents, and childcare providers in science inquiry and physical science. The grant includes funding for librarian training, books and other hands-on STEM materials for the 26 libraries, travel to state and national conferences for networking and presentations, project assessment, and training for state library personnel in 22 other states. The Montshire Museum of Science will provide consultation as the project is planned and developed. The grant program officially began in November 2015. |
