Thanks to our friends at Stone Ridge Wine & Spirits, Bluebird Wine & Spirits, and Lagusta’s Luscious Chocolates for donating the prizes!
The Stone Ridge Library joins a number of local libraries by going fine free beginning this month.
Please remember to return your materials in a timely manner so we can continue to share our resources with everyone. Patrons will still be responsible for replacing lost or damaged items but no fees will be assessed on late materials.
Call 687-7023 from the parking lot and we will bring your materials to the return benches by the entrance for you to pick up.
During the winter months all patrons participating in Stone Ridge Library sponsored groups are required to be vaccinated.
Libby is replacing the Overdrive App, which will be removed in February 2022.

If you will soon be eligible for Medicare, or even if you already have Medicare, you will not want to miss this Introduction To Medicare. We will review the periods when you are eligible for Medicare, your costs for it, Original Medicare versus Medicare Advantage Plans, how supplements work with Medicare, Part D Prescription plans from the best way to pick one to understanding the consequences of not having one, the Medicare Part D “Donut Hole” and more.
The book for February is Three things about Elsie by Joanna Cannon. 84-year-old Florence has fallen and she can’t get up. While waiting for rescue from the floor of her assisted living facility, she begins recounting the mystery of its newest resident, a man who looks and acts suspiciously like someone she was glad to see die sixty years ago.

We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you’re likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you’re going with a project.
