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 12th.
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.
