Thanks to all the volunteers and buyers who made last weekend's
annual Friends of the Library Book Sale another big success!
Many people enjoyed browsing, buying and chatting with other
book lovers. A special thanks to John Schuster for coordinating
the effort.
On Tuesday, August 6th, the final session of the summer Pre-school
Story Hour series will begin at 10:30 a.m.. Be sure to bring
in the little ones for some fun.
On Thursday, August 1st, the next session in the library's Summer
Reading Program, "Splish, Splash, Read", for children
5 - 12, will be held from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.; this series will
end with a final session on August 8th.
The library will be closed from August 26th - September 2nd for
the Labor Day holiday. This hiatus will give the staff a well-deserved
mini-vacation. The library will re-open on Tuesday, September
3rd at 10 a.m.
Mr. Jay Dunn of the MECS English Department recently delivered
copies of their Independent Reading Challenge recommended reading
list to the library. We have also received reading records and
information for parents of English students. Students and parents
can stop buy and ask for these materials at the circulation desk.
We are currently compiling a collection of books from the list
to help students take on this challenge.
The library is looking for a two-drawer file cabinet to store
all of Barb's computer files. If you have one in clean (excellent
only, please) condition that you would donate, please let us
know.
Remember to use the Morrisville Library News column on the library's
website (www.midyork.org/morrisville); you can click on the titles
of any of the books I mention in the column and instantly order
them online! All you have to do is pick up the books at the library.
Thanks to Nan Woodcock for the donation of four nice Large Type
books. Long
Time, No See by Susan Isaacs follows Judith Singer, professor
and amateur sleuth search out the murderer of her neighbor. Envy
by Sandra Brown is a suspenseful romance in which book editor,
Maris Matherly-Reed is drawn into a web by a reclusive writer
who is out to get her husband. Catherine Cookson's The
Silent Lady follows the aftermath of the astonishing arrival
of a woman who has been missing for well over two decades. Stephen
King's Dreamcatcher
is the final book from Nan's collection. Thanks so much. Other
donations this week include Clive Cussler's Fire
Ice, John Sandford's Mortal
Prey, and James Lee Burke's Jolie
Blon's Bounce, a mystery stocked with deeply developed characters
richly set in the Louisiana Gulf Coast backwoods.
Also newly arrived this week is Tim Farrington's The
Monk Downstaris, a classic story about the interesting relationship
of unlikely lovers, a single mother/ graphic artist who has lost
her faith in men and a former monk who has lost his faith in
God. The
Educated Heart by Mari Stein gives professional guidelines
for massage therapists, bodyworkers and movement teachers. It
gives ethical guidelines for bodyworkers integrated with a sense
of humor, and candid stories in a very readable writing style.
The leisurely days of summer are a perfect time to relax and
enjoy a good book. Stop by the library this week; you're sure
to find just the right one to read.
