Ice Station Zebra

Well, it feels like Ice Station Zebra outside, but there is still alot happening at the library. Except of course for my book club "Books and Brew". I wonder if it's the name? The turnout for our last book "Blind Man's Bluff" was somewhat less than I had hoped. At least with the Clive Cusller book one person showed up, granted it was by accident. I am debating as to trying one more time. Chime in here if you have a book sugguestion.

If you're in the mood for a romantic comedy, come check out the display of DVDs in the media section that Nicki put together.

If you like audio books we just got a bunch of new titles on CD as well as a new order of Playaways (those little digital audio books that fit in your pocket). You can see the titles on the "New Items Link" on our homepage.

Don't forget about Long Island Reads, sponsored by the Nassau and Suffolk County Public Library Systems. This year's book is "Wait Till Next Year: A Memoir", a baseball book-just in time for Spring:

‘…Despite family traumas and all those years the Dodgers lost to the Yankees, it is a happy, even a jaunty memoir. “Once I realized what the title should be, it was so clear that’s what the whole book was about,” she said, “not only because of the Dodgers and my own temperament, but there was a larger theme about this country, this kind of resilience, the sense that if you push hard enough, something good will happen, even when life tells you it’s not always true.” *
