WEEKLY QUOTE  “[A library] is a space ship that will take you to the farthest reaches of the Universe, a time machine that will take you to the far past and the far future, a teacher that knows more than any human being, a friend that will amuse you and console you – and most of all, a gateway, to a better and happier and more useful life.” ― Isaac Asimov, author and biochemist

AUTHOR BIRTHDAYS  Celebrate January with Isaac Asimov, J. R. R. Tolkien, Edgar Allan Poe, Zane Grey, A.A. Milne, Thomas Merton and more. We have their works available on display near Sophie’s tank.  She can’t read them, as she is a turtle, so please check them out!  (You can say hello to Sophie, too.  If you’re very lucky, you might see her on her brief daily walkabout.)

MARIO KART  The library will be holding its first-ever Mario Kart Tournament on Saturday, January 23^rd at 2 PM.  We’ll have trophies for the top finishers, and certificates for everyone.  Bring your friends and play on our brand new Wii.  The Wii is also available for everyday use.  Stop at the main desk to borrow the controllers with your library card.
