Share your musical talents   

   Wanted! Musicians, singers, carolers, bell ringers or anyone who wants to help musically spread the holiday spirit. The Library will be holding a series of lunchtime holiday concerts Dec. 14-23 (weekdays only) at the Main Branch. Several community residents and groups have already signed up to play, but more are welcome.
   Already on the schedule are: Velvet Spasm, a local jazz band; Carl Crooks and Linda Bustetter playing Celtic, medieval, Renaissance and traditional Christmas music; and Amber Ferguson and her guitar/piano students. River Magic Chorus, a local women's group, will give a special evening concert on Dec. 15.
   The library will provide drinks and cookies each day, and patrons are invited to bring their lunch and listen.
   Anyone wishing to join in the music and merriment should call Amanda Clark at 606.329.0518, ext. 1140, or email her: aclark@thebookplace.org
