There are angels in the library this month.

Winchester resident Liz Borden graciously loaned the library her collections of stained-glass and needlepoint angels for the holidays. They are wonderful, and a trip to the library to see them, no matter how you celebrate, will make your day outstanding and brighten your season of light.

Bands of angels fill both the lobby foyer cases. In the right-hand case there is a complete stained glass crèche along with a choir of angels; in the left-hand case a band of angels play and dance while an angel orchestra performs above.

Each case is highlighted by a beautiful star created for Liz by renowned Winchester artist Holly Van Meter.

Liz has collected stained-glass angels for 40 years. Many of the angels on display were gifts from her husband, David, and her daughter, Stephanie.

Five needlepoint angels created by Liz’s mother, Eleanor Lane, are displayed in the library reference section.

Liz mentioned her mother might be better known to most people as Mrs. Stanley Lane, the wife of the co-owner of Bridges and Lane Hardware. That may be true, but Eleanor Lane also deserves to be known as a fine needlepoint artist.

Her angels are magnificent. The colored threads blend so effectively, her needlework looks like painting. She added intricate and exquisite beadwork to create halos, garlands of flowers and mosaic patterns on angel robes.

Eleanor Lane’s needlework angels make the reference reading area a perfect place to take a break from shopping and curl up with a good volume of holiday stories.

In the scheme of things this time of year, cyber-space is pretty puny compared to celestial space. Come to the library, ponder angels, relax and dream.

At 11 a.m. Monday, Pageturner’s Book Group will discuss “The Book Woman of Troublesome Cree” by Kim Michele Richardson. Richardson herself will join in through a Skype connection.

“The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek” chronicles the hardships and hostilities experienced by dedicated Kentucky packhorse librarians during the Great Depression.

Come learn about this amazing part of Kentucky history and enjoy a conversation with the author.

Copies of the book are available at the circulation desk.

At 6 p.m. Tuesday, get jolly when Ron Kibbey presents classic short comedies starring “The Little Rascals.” “The Little Rascals,” or Hal Roach’s “Rascals,” was an American series of comedy short films about a group of poor neighborhood kids.

Created by comedy producer and studio executive Hal Roach, the series was produced in various forms from 1922 to 1944. Roach and original director Robert F. McGowan worked to film the Rascals as regular children rather than have them imitate adult acting styles. The series broke new ground by portraying white and black children interacting as equals.

Ron will introduce the evening’s films. A cartoon will precede them. Free soft drinks and popcorn, too. Free and open to the public.
