Life at the Library

The library has been made a victim of by Spring Cleaning. The Children’s Room has spent a great deal of time over the last few days cleaning, rearranging, and weeding. We have made some great changes with many more to come. Also we have been busy planning for this summer. This summer has lots of exciting things to come including a Teen Summer Program to along with the Summer Reading Program for the kids. We are once again working with the school and various other community figures. We are excited to see what will come from another crazy, hot, and humid summer!

Some Book Reviews

I have subscribed to a service called goodreads and they send me reviews of new books coming up. They recently sent me one about two different authors, Dan Simmons and Jodi Picoult. If you are interesting in reading the interview they did with these authors then click on the links below. Dan Simmons' new book is called Drood and explores the darker years of Charles Dickens. Jodi Picoult's latest book is called Handle With Care and talks about the legal quagmire of wrongful birth lawsuits.
