Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Playful engineers at John Curtis Library

Thursday, February 20, 10:30 a.m.—12:30 p.m.

In this hands-on, STEM-focused workshop, children design, build, test, and
play with Rube Goldberg “machines”, plus domino constructions, exploding
popsicle-stick snakes, and other awesome engineering explorations.
Teaching artist and engineering enthusiast Jay Mankita brings lots of
materials to work with, including dominoes, wood blocks, string, chain,
pulleys, elastics, tinker toys, K’nex, Lego, tracks, ping-pong balls,
clamps, connectors, bases, dowels, and magnets.

Children will have a chance to create various fun chain reactions,
connecting focused play with serious science. Participants learn through
demonstration and play, exploring basic force and motion physics, as they
build with common toys and other ordinary materials.

The program is best for children in kindergarten and up. Younger children
may participate if closely supervised by a caregiver.

The program is funded by the Friends of the Library.

Please register from the Calendar of Events section of the library’s
website, www.hanover-ma.gov/john-curtis-free-library
For more information, call 781-826-2972, extension 4, or email
lcampbell@ocln.org .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
participate in the 13th annual Boston Bruins PJ Drive to benefit Department
of Children and Families’ (DCF) Wonderfund and Cradles to Crayons. The PJ
Drive’s goal is to collect 13,000 pairs of new pajamas. Many of the
pajamas donated go to local DCF offices in the area in which they were
collected, benefitting local kids and teens.

The PJ Drive runs now through March 15. The library will be collecting new
pairs of pajamas for babies, children and teens.

Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife, Siw, started the PJ drive during
the Boston Bruins 2007-2008 season as a way to give back to their
community. The couple collected 1,600 pairs of pajamas for Cradles to
Crayons which connects with social service agencies across the state to
identify specific children in need. Last year, libraries from across the
Commonwealth collected 13,022 new pairs of pajamas, a new record for the
drive. In total, over 20,000 pairs of pajamas were collected by 251 groups,
136 of which were libraries.

The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) works with the
Boston Bruins to coordinate library participation in the drive. Libraries
from around the state use the Massachusetts Library System’s delivery
service, typically used to send books and other library materials, to send
their PJs to area collection locations which increases libraries’ ability
to participate in the drive.

The collection box for pajamas is located in the library’s main entrance
foyer. For more information, call 781-826-2972, extension 4, or email
lcampbell@ocln.org.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Hanover Day is set for June 27th and volunteers are now being sought for
the following roles. If you have always wanted to participate in Hanover
Day, but didn’t know how to, here are some ideas! Please contact Chris
Haraden at charaden@comcast.net for more details or to sign up.

Volunteer Opportunities
These are the major volunteer opportunities that need to be solidified now,
and we have some folks already working in these areas who could use
assistance. On the day of the event, there are many other things that will
need to be assigned, so all levels of interest and availability are
welcome. We can definitely use more hands to lighten the load!

– Assist Dave Malekpour with Hanover’s Got Talent auditions and managing
the logistics of the acts
– Also assist Dave with the Battle of the Bands to seek out bands, market
the event, obtain prizes and sponsors
– Sponsorship requests. Work with Chris Hillier to contact local businesses
about sponsorships and participation.
– Cathy H-B needs 8 drivers of shuttle vans to bring vendors back and forth
to Briggs Stables, and do the pickup routes to senior housing throughout
the day. No special license is required to drive the vans.
– 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament coordinator. Could be one or two people.
Maybe an adult and a HS student with an interest in basketball? Manage
registrations, set up games, coordinate referees, help obtain prizes for
winners. We have templates to use from past years. This is a fun event but
has lots of moving parts – perfect for an organized mind!
– Volunteer coordination. Work with Molly Connolly to ensure all have CORI
checks, sign up volunteers for parts of the event that need them, sign off
on HS students’ forms for community service hours. Help recruit
volunteers at the high school.
– Info booth captain. On the day of the event, the info booth should be
staffed at all times. Coordinate volunteers to be sure someone is always
there throughout the day to answer questions, direct volunteers who arrive
for their shifts, stay in contact on walkie-talkies in case of an
emergency.
– Food vendor coordinator. Work with food trucks and other vendors on
selection and locations.
– Field management. Work with Paul Nimeskern to sure the tables, chairs,
and tents we order get to where they need to go (stage, 3-on-3 courts, food
tent, etc.). Be sure generators are in place and operational. Work with DPW
and others on logistics and be sure we are keeping required clearances for
fire trucks, etc.
– Marketing and promotion. Work with Rachel Hughes to help with social
media, website, promotions, etc. Also, making sure we promote all of the
different activities that are happening throughout the day to target
audiences (seniors, kids, athletes, crafters, stage performers)

Again, please contact Chris Haraden at charaden@comcast.net for more
details or to sign up!
