this year.
A heartfelt thank-you goes out to Janine Ashcraft for substituting

reception honoring Traci Schuster for her years a director of
the Morrisville Public Library. The reception will be on Sunday,
November 24th from 1-3 p.m. at Madison Hall on Route 20 in Morrisville.
This is a wonderful chance for us to show our gratitude for
all her efforts in programming, in creating a welcoming library
atmosphere, at finding funding for books and repairs, and in
so many other tasks which culminated in this past June's successful
vote making the library a School District Library. Put the date
on your calendar now!
Thanks go out this week for two books from anonymous donors.
The Fuehrer Bunker: The Complete Cycle (American Poets Continuum
Series, Vol. 31 by W.D. Snodgrass is a masterful epic poem about
Adolph Hitler. Chain of Evidence by Ridley Pearson is a well-plotted
thriller that follows the efforts of Connecticut detective, Joe
Dartelli, as he investigates serial murders while being haunted
by a supposed suicide case, the mysterious "Ice Man,"
who he suspects could be linked to his old mentor.
The frosty days of fall are the perfect time to stop in at
your local library. Come in this week and find a great book to
curl up with on these chilly evenings.
