She will be showing attendees how to make All Occasion Cards for this session. The cost of the class is $5.00.

Library Card Sign-Up
September is Library Card Sign-up Month. For the month of September every new patron will get a special treat when they stop in and sign up for a new Library Card.
Fayette Library & School Library
Beginning in September, the Fayette Library will partner with the Fayette Local Schools to provide Library services and educational programs for students preschool age through grade 12. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the Fayette Library will hold classes with the preschool through 6 grade students. Also on these days the After School Program will be held in the School Library from 3:00 to 4:00, instead of at the Fayette Library. The Fayette Library staff are excited to provide this service for students, and hope this will give them more opportunities to love to read.
Thursdays @ 7
The Book Club will meet Thursday, September 24. The book that will be discussed is “The Ladies’ Room” by Carolyn Brown. Secrets told in the church ladies’ room are supposed to stay in the ladies’ room. But that doesn’t mean that what Trudy overhears there during her great-aunt Gertrude’s funeral won’t change the rest of her life. Trudy has a daughter in the middle of a major rebellion, a two-timing husband, and a mother with Alzheimer’s. She doesn’t really need a crumbling old house left to her by her great-aunt Gertrude. Billy Lee Tucker, resident oddball, lived next door to Gert, and in her will she leaves him the funds to help Trudy remodel the old house. That’s fine with Billy Lee, because he’s been in love with Trudy since before they started school. A beautiful home rises up from the old house, and right along with it rises up a relationship. But is Trudy too scarred from what she heard in the ladies’ room to see a lovely future with Billy Lee? If you are interested in joining the book club, stop in the Library and pick up a book.
