Summer pictures

Hi
we've posted some recent pictures of our summer programs here at the library. We have tons of pictures, but due to privacy issues we only post pictures of performers and staff members. SO if you want to check to see if there are any pictures of you stop by the kids department and the staff will help you. Hope everyone is having a fun summer, please don't forget to stop in and see what's going on here, we have events almost every day throughout the month of July. So blast off for a fun summer

Summer Time?

Hard to believe that summer is right around the corner (officially anyway, looking out on cold gray skies today so I have my doubts...). Does anyone have any good summer reading suggestions? I'm always looking for new authors and I'm sure other people are too. Just post a note with the title/author and I'm sure other readers will appreciate the suggestions.

They're back

Guess what the science fiction books have traveled from a far far place (the lower level) back to the stacks on the first floor. The vault project is winding down so they could be moved back to where they belong. May the force be with you

What's up! Books, DVDS, CDS and Video Games

Hi
please excuse my lack of blogging entries -- we've been Sooooo busy adding tons of new materials to the adult collection, check out all the new books, videos, compact discs, and video games. We have something for everyone, from the newest New York Times Bestsellers (they may not be on the shelf) to lesser known new novels. All new books are located right next to the reference desk, so check them out who knows you may discover a new author or learn a new hobby or skill. We also have tons of new music compact discs, everything from classical to jazz to my very own favorite (the Boss) did anyone see him in concert? it was awesome.
We've also added new titles to our ever growing collection of video games. We have games for XBOX 360, Playstation 3 ; and Wii. We tend to buy games that are appropriate for all ages so check those out they are downstairs at the end of the DVDs.
Speaking of DVDs nothing on TV this weekend, we have all new movies, including Marley & Me, Quantum of Solace. We've also started to buy Blu-ray discs, they can't be played on regular DVD players but I hear they are super cool.
So don't forget to check out all new materials, and I promise to blog more often, at least I'll try to.
