We are excited to
send out the call for quilts for Decatur Public Library’s 41st
Annual Quilt Show. If you have a hand- or machine-stitched quilt you would like
to enter into the show call 256-340-5780 to reserve your space. Once you have
reserved your space, we will set up a time to drop off your quilt to the
library. We will accept quilts through Friday, September 23rd at
5pm. There is a limit of 2 quilt entries per person. Complete guidelines
available at www.myDPL.org/quilts.
Besides accepting
quilts for the Annual Quilt Show in October, we have two authors appearing this
month at DPL to discuss their latest books. On September 15th at
6pm, Robert Bailey will be here to talk about Rich Blood. This will be the first book in a new series. Set in
Guntersville, it’s “a compelling legal thriller about a lawyer who takes on his
sister’s case - and confronts small-town secrets and family skeletons.”
On September 29th
at 6pm, Georgina Cross will be here to talk about her new book, The Niece. Set
in Decatur, it is “a gripping
psychological thriller”. This will be the first time she has done a program at
DPL.
September is
National Sewing Month and since we will be working with quilts and quilters all
month to get ready for the 41st Annual Quilt Show, the September
task for the Adult Reading Challenge is to read a book that is about a seamstress or a quilter.
Happy Reading!
