Holiday music at the library
Come celebrate the season with Christmas carols and holiday music presented by The Friends of Freedom Public Library.
Kermit and Cindy Clark are back by popular demand to play some of your seasonal favorites on keyboard and guitar. Mark your calendars for 2 to 4 in the afternoons, Thursday, December 10 and Tuesday, December 15.
Then on Thursday, December 17, The Golden Troupers from Ocala Civic Theatre are scheduled to Light Up the Library with holiday song. The Troupers are a traveling branch of the Theatre and generally perform music and light comedy as requested. Several members from their group of twenty-five will sing for your entertainment from 3 to about 4 p.m.
Refreshments will be served at all three events.

Pictures and Paintings
Art Club of Oak Run’s Artist of the Month, Heather Doherty, shows off her many excellent paintings and watercolors for all to admire. Be sure and stop in and visit the artist’s corner of the library. At right, Heather shows her "Wedding Tea" watercolor.
Photography by Annette Ware of the On Top of the World’s ShutterBug Photography Club will be featured in the artists’ section. Annette poses here with her picture of a cheetah taken at the Jacksonville Zoo.
Meeting Room Registration
The new year is almost upon us and many groups have not completed the application forms necessary to maintain their chosen meeting dates and times. Failing to register not only indicates non-renewal of your group’s meeting times but also leave the dates open and available for some other group. See Heather Ogilvie at the library or call her at 438-2580 and bring your information current.

Freedom Public Library is open six days a week, Monday through Saturday, closed on Sunday. Open times are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.
