A variety of handmade items will be on display at 50-60 booths for early Christmas shoppers.

How often do you go to the library?

“I almost never go there at all — only with my wife, Kim. She checks out, I’d say, at least three books a week. The kids go with her, and she teaches them how to find things.”
