Have you heard? Harry O’Donaghue will be returning to Millen this Saturday! This Irish singer-songwriter has visited us once before to rave reviews, and we expect he’ll be even better this time around! Come in to the library this Saturday, April 17, at 2 p.m. for an hour of the best music around. This program is supported in part by the Grassroots Arts Program of the Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly and in partnership with the Statesboro Arts Council.

Ribbit! Ribbit! Storytime will be hopping this Wednesday, April 14, at 4 p.m., because it’s all about frogs! Next week, we’ll be enjoying music - and making some too!

Are you going to be at the Resource Fair at Jenkins County Elementary Tuesday, April 20? We will! Stop in and say hello anytime between 6-8 p.m.

Thursday, April 22, is Earth Day. Learn more about saving the environment with some of our books on recycling, reduce reuse and recycle with our books on eco-crafts, help fight global warming and reduce water waste with books on earth-friendly gardening, or shrink your carbon footprint and your electric bill with the Kill-A-Watt Kit!

The Jenkins County Memorial Library Board will be meeting at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 21. The Screven-Jenkins Regional Library Board will be meeting at 4 p.m. Thursday, April 22, at the Screven County Library. The public is welcome to attend.

New to the library: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, by Seth Grahame-Smith.

From the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes the tale of a very different Abe Lincoln, one whose mother was killed by vampires and who followed a path of

vengeance that took him all the way to the White House. Now, his secret journal has been discovered. Links to this and other great sites can be found at www.sjrls.org

Fonolo - Hate going through phone menus? Go to http:// fonolo.com/ and go right where you want to go! Just type in the name of the company, pick who you want to talk to, and wait for your phone to ring. You can even record your call and take notes right to your computer in case of disputes or ongoing issues.

Well, that’s all for now - see you at the library!
