Christmas Events at the Grants Public Library

GRANTS, N.M.- The Grants Public Library has a few events taking place this fall into winter. One of these is Book Angels. This is a gifting program that will allow families to sign up their child to receive a book for Christmas from a Book Angel. The Book Angels are anybody who would like to donate a book to be given to a child or young adult who has signed up. The library is actively seeking people who would like to participate. If you would like to sign your child up or participate as a donor, the event will take place up until December 19. All the library will need is the child's name, age, and an adult's contact information. The child's name and age will be put on ornaments for their tree in the library. The book angels may come and pick a child from the tree in order to select an appropriate book to donate. Book Angels may also simply drop off a book and the library staff will give it to one of the children who have signed up.

COVID-19 in Cibola Through October

Body
COVID-19 showed its teeth once again this last month, more than doubling the number of new COVID cases from September. October saw one COVID-related death of a Cibola community member, and broke a streak of no COVID-deaths which began in September. Winter comes closer and closer, bringing with it the chill of the cold. As more and more people go inside to stay warm, the disease finds a great opportunity to transmit. A great way to check for the COVID danger to the community is by watching the number of active cases. September saw a massive decrease in active cases, but October has seen a massive increase in active cases, ending the month with 343 active cases – the highest count of active cases in the county since August. Despite rising numbers, the Centers for Disease Control has declared the COVID threat to Cibola as “low”, jumping to “medium” for one week, but then back to “low”.
