Friday morning from 9 to 10 a.m. is another special pre-sale event before opening to the public at 10 a.m. Friday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and all day Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. the book sale is open to all.
Some “fresh blood” is introduced by the donations of Longview Public Library. The entire VHS movie collection from Palestine Public Library will be for sale. Book bags and other items will be available for sale and in conjunction with “incentives.”

Here is a little “stress relief” for the holiday season: restorative yoga. Conducted by our certified instructor, Paula Ellis, restorative yoga is just what it sounds like: relaxation, breathing, and feeling restored at the end of the session. As an addition to the regular Friday morning yoga classes (Intermediate 9 a.m. and Chair Yoga 10:15 a.m.), restorative yoga will be on Tuesday evenings at 5:30 p.m. starting Tuesday and run for six weeks. Each class is self contained so, not to worry if you have to miss a class.
Restorative Yoga encourages maximum relaxation so padding created by blankets, towels, or pillows is a must. Bring your mat, if you have one, and whatever padding you want.

MOVIE REVIEW ‘The Wolfman’: The return of classic horror
Joe Johnston's “The Wolfman” revels in history. Credits call attention to its basis in the 1941 Lon Chaney movie “The Wolf-Man,” but the plot pays homage to two other classic horror films as well: 1935's “Werewolf of London” and the Hammer Pictures paean to lycanthropy, “The Curse of the Werewolf” (1961).
