APS at the APL!  Watch for it!  Be a participant!  It’s educational and fun!

APS is the Adult Programming Series which kicks off at the Adel Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 6:30 p.m.  The program entitled “Learn to Buy & Sell on eBay” will be given by Justin Alliss.  Those wishing to attend are asked to bring an easily identified item they wish to sell, a notepad, and a pencil.  Justin will teach us the ins and outs of eBay.

The workshop is free and registration is not required.

A brochure will soon be available at the front desk with an explanation of each program for the 2009-10 season.  Topics include making blue bird houses, gardening, ghosts, two visits to the Adel Historical Museum, a soup luncheon and program on the Ortonville Circus, a mystery party, reflexology, TFE (a form of acupuncture), craft sessions, open mic night, and possibly more.

A Silent Auction is currently being held at the library with many nice items up for bid.  Included are collectible dishes and pottery, hand made quilted items, jewelry, new toys, an Isabel Bloom figurine, antique books, and more.  The sale ends Friday, Sept. 11 at 5 p.m.  Place your bids in our special bid book then check back often to see if anyone has “upped” your bid.

Proceeds will go for new tables in the children’s craft room.
