Cabin Fever Hoedown - A HUGE SUCCESS!
It was, indeed, the greatest event held in Pine River this year. The Golden Nugget was packed with supporters of the Friends of the Leon-Saxeville Library. Considered the NUMBER ONE event of the season, the February 27 Hoedown featured oldtime fiddle music by the Pine River Soppers, with easy to learn dances being called by John (JDub) Wilson. Along with the music, the Friends guests were equally excited with chances to win one of the Fifty Plus Festive Fun Raffles. If you missed it, stop in at the library and see the pictures.

Book Club "On Writing - A Memoir of the Craft" March 15
Ready for spring? Spring in for some lively conversation with the BOOK CLUB!
"If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write."
This quote, taken from the inside dust jacket of "On Writing" by Stephen King, reveals much about the author. "On Writing" culimates with a profoundly moving account of how King's overwhelming need to write spurred him toward recovery, and brought him back to life." Make plans to join us on Monday, March 15 at 7:00 pm to discuss "On Writing - A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King.
