with the lovely
distractions of family and friends during the Christmas season, we don't seem to notice the the snow and cold. there are all of those FUN things to look forward to...
... and then we're faced to deal with the reality of winter! well, i think i have a bandaid cure for the bleakness of winter--reading a good book!
TIKI! TIKI! TIKI! also known as the IFPL winter reading program is still running strong, and you have until February 28 to read and win prizes! and i have been hearing that people are wandering over into the 800 section and finding really good stuff--stuff they might never have found without being encouraged. for example, did you know that Isaac Asimov wrote about his favorite jokes? you can read all of them in Isaac Asimov's Treasury of Humor. or did you know that the illustrated Ten Great Plays (by Shakespeare) is the most popular--according to circulation stats--book in the 800 section? or did you know that there is a book full of poems and stories about baseball? Baseball: a literary anthology is here and hiding out in the 800s! stroll over there and browse the shelves...
just so you know, the libraries (Idaho Falls and Iona) will be closed on January 19 for Human Rights Day. please plan ahead.
on to other things... Open Mic Night is on January 20 @ 7pm and we're going to focus on books we read in 2008--either books we LOVED or those we really didn't. please come and give us a little synopsis about your book, to talk about your feelings about the book, and maybe be prepared to defend your stance.

it should be a fun night!
and like i said before, we are all feeling that winter is here... please, please plan ahead on your borrowing. we can usually renew a book/magazine/audio book (as long as no one has requested the item), but there is no way we can renew DVD or VHS items.
