The What Are You Reading Now? book club meets 1 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month. This month, the club meets Jan. 28.

Patrons are invited to chat about whatever books they are reading at the moment - the ones you loved, the ones you hated and everything in between.

The library now offers a community jigsaw puzzle table for adults. Patrons are invited to spend some time in the library and help complete the puzzle.

The library currently seeks 300- to 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle donations for adults to work on. Donations of puzzles are accepted year-round at the library.

Once a jigsaw puzzle has been completed, a new puzzle will be in place.

Have some fun and thank you to those who donated puzzles.

Would you like an easy way to help the library? Purchase a Giant Food Store bag between now and Jan. 31, and the library will receive $1 for each bag purchased through the Giant Bags 4 My Cause program.

Each bag has a tag on it that must be registered; you can drop off the tag at the library and we will do it for you. You can buy these bags at 2641 MacArthur Road, Whitehall.
