Holidays In The Air at Dunedin Public Library

Holiday events at the Dunedin Public Library and Information regarding the Diversity Week essay contest for kids.

The Dunedin Public Library is all about the holidays! We have a lot of programs going on and several planned for the near future. 

We’ll be in the Dunedin Holiday Parade Saturday, Dec. 8 at 4 p.m. Because the parade route is in front of the library and closes the road, the library will close at 2 p.m. this Saturday. The Youth Department will be in the Chamber

of Commerce reading stories and doing crafts for Old Fashioned Christmas after the parade. If you have never been to Dunedin’s Old Fashioned Christmas you will be amazed! 

The Adult Services Department is offering some pretty fantastic programs.  On December 10 at 3PM the Madrigal Singers will be in the library. Come enjoy some old fashioned carolling! On Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. you can meet Rita Fabula and see her “Quick and Easy Appetizers for the Holidays.”  I bet you’ll be able to taste some of those appetizers, too! Finally, on Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. we will be entertained by Raffi and Roman Kasparian with “Festive Piano.”  

So much holiday cheer and spirit of the season!

With our nations' urgent need to overhaul the health care system and each persons' need to deal withRead More increasing health care costs/decreasing quality of care, volunteering for SHINE could be part of the answer. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make postive changes for yourself and others. If, like me, you feel frustrated with the FL Legislature which seems to be working against us rather than for us; volunteering with organizations that educate the public in essential areas of concern can be an effective way to create grassroots changes. SHINE offers exceptional training and effectively updates it's volunteers regarding changes in the healthcare system. Sign up for thier training and you're sure to want to pass on what you learn to others.
