You brought it, you fixed it!

Whether it was a coffee grinder, blender, iron, lamps, clothes, or jewelry, our dedicated volunteers and patrons saved almost 40 items from the landfill! Thank you, recyclers, upcyclers, and menders, for making our first Repair Cafe a success!

D:Wendy Lehman, Head of Youth Services, recommends Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Address by Chief Jake Swamp for Indigenous Peoples Day.

"Giving Thanks is the traditional Thanksgiving Address of the Haudenosaunee (also known as the Iroquois Confederacy or Six Nations — Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscarora) adapted for children. The Thanksgiving Address is used as both the opening and closing of every social and religious meeting of the Haudenosaunee and a daily sunrise prayer. The prayer is an ancient message of peace, thanks, and appreciation of Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants."

"Middle schooler Merci lives in Miami with her close-knit family. She copes with middle school emotions and social struggles, first crushes, and her grandfather’s changing health. This is everything I want a good, authentic realistic fiction story to be – it’s funny, and sweet, and sad, and REAL – and it’s even better because author Meg Medina made it a three-part series! You will absolutely fall in love with Merci, and then be so glad you can grow with her even more." – Lisa L., Youth Librarian
