The Library's Teen Advisory Board is sponsoring a Winter Clothing Drive through December 30th. Drop off your used (but clean!) winter items like hats, scarves, sweaters, mittens, jackets or coats in the designated boxes at the Library throughout the holiday season.
Thanks for all of your contributions! All donations go to Purple Heart.
You hear people mentioning it all the time, but maybe you aren't really sure what a Roth IRA is all about. Now is the time to get informed!
Andrew Gagne, Associate Financial Advisor with Ameriprise Financial will be at the library on Tuesday, October 26th at 7 pm to answer your questions and make sure you're aware of the potential tax benefits behind a Roth IRA conversion.
Get your pencils sharpened for some serious writing come November! The library is hosting a kick-off party and writing nights during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo, for short) and everyone with an idea for a novel (you know you have one) is invited to participate. The NaNoWriMo organization offers great support during the process as you can communicate and work with writers going through the same process as you. If you're up to the challenge, sign up at the Reference Desk or show up at our kick-off at Biggby Coffee (Ford Rd., Westland) on 11/3 or at one of our Writing Nights at the library (11/9, 11/16, 11/23, 11/30).
The 1st month of the library Fantasy Football league just ended and we are giving away prizes for the top finishers in the Quarterback, Running Back, and Wide Receiver categories.
GoFireUpChips won the QB category due to an as expected stellar first month by Peyton Manning. I wish I could say it was close, but Philip Rivers was a distant second (sorry Condo of Spears).
srsbuziness used a waiver wire pick-up in Austin Collie to take the WR category for month 1. It just goes to show that there are worthwhile pick-ups out there every week of the season.
The Blitz took the RB category thanks in large part to a monumental 1st week by Arian Foster (and a game against the hapless Raiders).
Looking forward to month 2 already. We'll keep you posted.
It's almost time for our 2nd Open Mic of the fall season. It's your turn to bring your singing, rapping, playing, poetry, stories, dancing, and improv, and more! Join us Thursday, October 21st from 7-8:30 p.m. for another fun-filled evening with local folk artists and soulful singers (at the very least- 1 pleasant surprise per evening guaranteed). View some of the performers at Westland Library's YouTube page. See you soon!
Today the library unveils its new website design. This colorful and user-friendly site is the work of the library's Webmaster, Kristy Cooper. It's filled with even more information than previously, and gives the user 24/7 access to many library and internet resources.
Enjoy!
