We're Back!

We hope all of you had a restful and relaxing Thanksgiving! For us, we know we'll be seeing you in the next few weeks for those last minute projects, science experiment information and to boost your AR point levels.

Just don't forget in the midst of your rushing to take time out to enjoy some lighter fare. Both our Archibald and Biane Libraries host a wide variety of magazines for children's and adults -- just the thing for a short study break. Or perhaps try a book on cd just for fun. As always, there is a full calendar of special programs designed to inform, enlighten and entertain, so you might consider taking an hour out of your week and treat yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving!!


As you look forward to that long weekend (or week) that's just around the corner, why not use the time to enjoy a good book or two with your whole family? Some titles you might enjoy...

'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Dav Pilkey
This picture book favorite recounts a very special field trip to Mack Nugget's Turkey Farm on Thanksgiving Eve. Great for the whole family.

Thanksgiving by Marilyn Miller
J 394.2649 MIL
A short, non-fiction book detailing the history, traditon and customs of the holiday.

An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott
An adaptation of the original story of seven children who must plan the family feast while their mother is away caring for their grandmother.

And as always, there are a host of books, books on cd, dvds and other materials available at both library locations. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

The Big Read is Almost Over...

As we enjoy our final few book discussions and look forward to our culminating event, Thursday's visit by Mary "Scout" Badham, those of us at the library have been thinking about some of our favorite literary memories. Whether it was being tucked in while our parents read The Lord of the Rings trilogy or remembering the first time we finished a chapter book by ourselves, no one can deny the special place books and words have in our lives and the lives of our children. Beyond the lessons of acceptance and tolerance To Kill a Mockingbird teaches, reading one book as a community reminds us of the power of words, the value of shared experience and the importance of people coming together to reaffirm the importance of these ideals.
