Thanks to a recommendation from one of our loyal patrons, we have added a link to a new resource we think our patrons will enjoy. ‘Goodreads’ is the largest site for readers and book recommendations in the world. Join more than 6,800,000 members who have added more than 240,000,000 books to their shelves. A home for casual readers and bona-fide bookworms alike, Goodreads users recommend books, compare what they are reading, keep track of what they’ve read and would like to read, find their next favorite book, form book clubs and much more. Go to our ‘Resources’ tab; click on ‘Online Databases’, and scroll down to ‘Goodreads’.
The Library’s budget for 2012 will be the topic of discussion. The public is always welcome and encouraged to attend.

The Chess Club will be meeting at the Library from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. All ages are welcome and invited to attend as Chess provides an opportunity for skill building for young and old alike. Just learning the various moves – without strategy – assists with mathematics, problem solving skills, reasoning and decision making, critical thinking, communication and number awareness. Please come join in on the fun!
