Weather and Snow: It is that time of year when snow and ice can be beautiful, but can also
make getting around very difficult. I thought I would take this opportunity to remind our patrons
of how we try to keep all of you (and our staff) safe.
Parking lot: We contract with someone locally to clear our parking lot. Though this is done
before we open, on some days where it is still snowing the lot may not remain clear
throughout the day so please drive with caution and be very careful when parking next
to another car as it may be icy.
Sidewalks: We make every effort to clear and salt sidewalks before 8:30 when we open and
try to keep them clear throughout the day. With continual snow & ice, we can’t guarantee that the sidewalks will always be safe, so please use extreme caution and let the
staff know if there is an issue (being inside all day, we sometimes aren’t made aware of
problems).
Closings: Periodically the weather becomes bad enough that we need to close so that we
do our part in keeping people off the roads. If a snow emergency is called within the
county, the library will always close. The library may close at other times if I feel it is in
the best interest of safety for both patrons and staff. If we do close, I will make every
effort to provide closing through the following media:
Internet: www.weatherclosings.com (location: Albion, org type: other)
Radio: WMEE (97.3 FM), WOWO (1190 AM), WBCL (90.3 FM)
Television: Channel 21 & Channel 15
Have a happy and safe winter season!

Tales to Share
Princess Peepers
by Pam Calvert & illustrated by Tuesday Mourning
Princess Peepers adores her collection of eye glasses. She has a pair for every occasion. That is
until she attends the Royal Academy for Perfect Princess. The other royals make fun of the Princess’
“Peepers.” She packs all of her glasses away so that she can be like “everyone else” and this causes
a series of hilarious optical mistakes. She mistakes a visiting Prince, Prince Peerless, for a horse.
Princess Peepers and Prince Peerless quickly “see” that they are made for each other. Happy endings are in store for this optically challenged Princess. This is a delightful book emphasizing peer pressure, high expectations, and self acceptance.

Jigsaw Puzzle History
“The first jigsaw puzzle was made around 1760, when John Spilsbury, a British engraver
and mapmaker, mounted a map on a sheet of wood that he then sawed around each individual country. Spilsbury used the product to aid in teaching geography. After catching on
with the wider public, this remained the primary use of jigsaw puzzles until about 1820.”
