Happy New Year from the Morrisville Public Library! 2003 should
be a wonderful year for the library since it will mark our new
status as School District Library. Additionally, the library
will be open five additional hours each week. The new library
hours will be from noon until 8 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, from 10 a.m. till 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays
and from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
Starting off the New Year will be the first session of Spanish
Language Tutoring from 4-5 p.m. on January 8th in the program
room; this program will continue on Wednesdays throughout January.
On Saturday, January 11th, a Pine Cone Bird Seed Feeder Project,
led by Janine Ashcraft, will be held from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.
for children up through third grade. On Wednesday, January 29th,
at 7 p.m., John Rogers will be presenting "All About Bluebirds
and More"; this talk is free and open to the public. Put
these events on your calendar now.
We also have some great new books to start off the New Year.
Remember, you can reserve any books mentioned in this column
by going to the "Morrisville Library News" section
of the library's website (www.midyork.org/morrisville) and clicking
on the title of the book in the column in which it was mentioned.
You will then get clear directions how to reserve the book. The
Last Promise by Richard Paul Evans is a story of a young
American woman who marries an Italian man, moves to Italy, has
his child and lives a very lonely life in a loveless marriage.
When she meets an American art lover, they become fast friends
and soon fall in love. Children
of Cain by Miriam Grace Monfredo, the concluding volume of
the Cain trilogy, again brings the Civil War to life from a woman's
point of view. The
Terrorist Next Door by Daniel Levitas explores the roots
of Far Right hate groups in the U.S., how they have developed
, and how the government has responded or failed to respond to
this internal threat. Origami lovers will want to try Origami
to Astonish and Amuse by Jeremy Shafer; it includes excellent
models for different skills ( simple, low-intermediate, intermediate,
high-intermediate and complex) and different interests: Action
Models, from beginners (Baby Bird, Men's Suit), intermediate
(clapping hands), high intermediate (surfer on a wave), to complex
(nail clippers), and in other areas like Symbols and Signs (some
billfolds, a pyramid and a balancing eagle that poses at the
top of the pyramid).
For our 9-12 year old readers, The
Thief Lord by Cornelia Caroline Funke is a suspenseful novel
about thieving children, a disguise-obsessed detective and a
magical merry-go-round.
With new funding arriving in 2003, Barb is eager to purchase
some new books. She would love to get some suggestions from our
patrons. Be sure to let her know about any books you think our
library readers might enjoy.
Make a New Year's resolution this week to visit your local library
regularly and enjoy all the wonderful resources we have to offer
adults and children alike.
