Sew Thrifty
Are you feeling the pinch of tight money? Simple alterations like changing hems and replacing buttons can spruce up your old clothes and make them seem new again. Repairing ripped seams or that hole in your pocket lining is easy following the directions in the many sewing manuals at the library. Often the only tools needed are a needle and thread. The library has how-to books for sewing and transforming your clothes into something fresh and new.

Wanted: Local High School Yearbooks
There's a hole in our history — several holes, actually. Perhaps you could help fill those holes! Local high school yearbooks now form a treasured part of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library's Virginiana collection. They're fascinating to look through and are terrific resources for historians and genealogists. They capture, in words and wonderful photographs, a true sense of the times in which those youths lived. Read more.

Ann M. Martin: A Friend Forever
When people hear the name Ann M. Martin, they naturally think of her wildly popular Baby-sitters Club series. What was supposed to be just a four-book set turned into a 130-book saga, not counting the 120-book series for younger readers, Baby-sitters' Club Little Sisters and other spin-offs.
