The Children's Department will be closed all day tomorrow, May 1. We are going to be hard at work planning the splendid Summer Reading program of 2007. Please stay tuned for further developments.
The Adult and Young Adult Departments will be open.

If you are wondering what to do this summer in addition to the Summer Reading Program, have we got a book for you! The Family Manager's Guide to Summer Survival by Kathy Peel has plenty of great ideas to make summer fun, educational and enriching. You can find it in the Children's Department on the Parent/Teacher Shelf.

Happy May Day!

The last Family Storytime of the Spring 2007 session went great today. We had a big group and several newcomers! It was hard to say goodbye, even if it is only until June 14.

The kids made May baskets and tissue paper flowers to go in them. Does anyone deliver May baskets anymore?

The very newest of new additions to our collection are The Sisters Grimm series written by Michael Buckley and illustrated by Peter Ferguson. We just put The Fairy-Tale Detectives, The Unusual Suspects and The Problem Child, out on the new books shelf this afternoon. Sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm keep busy solving mysteries in the town of Ferryport Landing, New York, where they have been sent to live with their grandmother, following the mysterious disappearance of their parents.

If you have been waiting on these books, now is your chance! If you have already read them, please feel free to submit a review. We would love to hear your opinions.

Check back for information on the 2007 Summer Reading Program.

Keep reading!
