September is a month of change for the library, going
from the lazy days of summer into the brisk and busy fall season.
Barb is acclimating to her new interim director role and we
are looking forward to the bright future of the library when
it transitions into a School District Library in just a few more
months.
The fall Pre-School Story Hour series with Grandma B will
be kicking off on Tuesday, October 1st. Gratia Burleigh always
makes this such a joy - and learning experience - for the children.
Also, the exhibit of oil paintings by Andrew McPherson is on
display in the program room until October 1st.
To coordinate with the upcoming Mustang Weekend at the college,
we now have on display in the front hall the great exhibit of
photographs of life in Morrisville taken last spring by SUNY
Morrisville photography students. Alums coming to the weekend
as well as all the regular local residents can come in and enjoy
them. You might even see yourself in one of the pictures! Also,
on display through Mustang Weekend are several old SUNY Morrisville
yearbooks that people might enjoy browsing through.
Thanks this week to Mary Carlson for donating the videos:
Doc Hollywood, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, Santa Clause and
The Man Who Would Be King.
We are looking for someone to adopt Tom Clancy's new novel,
Red Rabbit; if you can help us, please consider it; remember,
we are still on the old (and very tight) budget!
For the younger set, we have received these new easy readers
from the "Ready to Read" series: Raggedy Ann and Andy:
Old Friends, New Friends (level 1), Snoopy: Flying Ace to the
Rescue (level 2), and It's Time for School, Charlie Brown (level
2). Other new books just in for children include Journal of
Jebediah Barstow by Ellen Levine , for our 9-12 year old readers.
From the I Am America series, it tells the personal story of
an emigrant on the Oregon Trail in 1845. Junie B., First Grader
(at last!) is the 18th installment in Barbara Park's popular
beginning chapter-book series for 4-8 year olds . It puts Junie
into a brand-new class where she has to make brand-new friends.
And as if that weren't hard enough, her brand-new teacher, Mr.
Scary, figures out that she needs eyeglasses. For the same age
group, Good Morning Gorillas (Magic Tree House 26) by Mary Pope
Osborne whisks Jack and Annie off to Africa where they meet a
gentle gorilla who might teach them some magic. For our young
adult readers, A Rose for Melinda by Lurlene McDaniel tells in
letters, journal entries, e-mails, doctors' reports, and instant
messages, the heartbreaking story of an aspiring ballet dancer
battling leukemia.
Come in this week and visit the library. Our door is always
open.
