Fall is upon us!




Thanks for making the Rock and Roll displays so successful!

Keeping full display of new Rock bios, including the latest books on U2, Springsteen and Warren Zevon, prooved to be difficult. Which in turn, means it was popular. Some material, including concert DVD's (I know you're out there Knack fans!) arrived after the display was taken down, so look for a sequel in the months ahead


We are featuring two new displays, the main showcase reflects the seafaring heritage of Long Island. There are non fiction books about whaling, the golden age of sailing and other things nautical including the new book by Eric Jay Dolin, Leviathan : the history of whaling in America.




Also featured is display of Japanese and Japanese American authors. Nola's Anime and Manga clubs are so popular, I thought showing another side of Japanese culture and writing might be interesting.






There are naysayers who would have me believe that people don't read this post. The lack of response is no indication of actual traffic (not to me anyway). This is, however a perfect time to have your voice heard. We are reevaluating our magazine collection and would welcome suggestions for titles you would like to see in our library, as well as magazines we currently have that you could not bear to part with. The goal is (as always) to have the collection reflect the needs and wants of our patrons, but also to offer items that are unusal and fun.
