MORRISVILLE LIBRARY NEWS

Brrr! Snuggle up with a good book this week and forget
about all this cold and snow! The library can help you do just
that.
You might want to stop in on Saturday, February 1st for
our Meet the Artists reception from noon - 2 p.m. in the program
room. You will be able to chat with Maxine Hunter, Bobbie Scarpino-Trendell
and Laura Dibble and view their exhibit "Rediscovering the
Landscape" now on display. Or you could stop in on Wednesday
afternoons between 4-5 p.m. if you'd like to take advantage of
the Spanish Language Tutoring session. If you want to bring
in your pre-schoolers, stop in at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February
11th for the first in the winter series of Pre-School Story Hour
with Grandma B. The theme of the first session will be "Farm
Animals". The series will continue on Tuesday mornings
through March 18th.
While you're putting these events on your calendar, be sure
to note that the library will be closed on Monday, February 17th
for President's Day.
Two new books have arrived this week, and many more are
on the way, according to Barb. On the New Books cart is Allison
Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It, the popular British novel
about Kate Reddy, a manager of a hedge fund and mother of two
small children, who is endlessly stressed about work, her children
and her neglected marriage. Diane Souhami's Selkirk's Island
is a portrait of the man who was the source for Daniel Defoe's
most famous novel, Robinson Crusoe. SOUHAMI draws on journals,
maritime histories, and ship and parish records to detail the
captivating story of Scottish seaman Alexander Selkirk and his
isolated life on an uninhabited island hundreds of miles off
the coast of Chile. Either one of these books should make you
forget the bone-chilling weather outside!
Come in to the library this week and thaw out. Sign out
some good books and settle in for a long winter's read.
