Don't join the book burners. Don't be afraid to go
in your library and read every book.

A good Christmas read

A Christmas Card
by Paul Theroux

Lost in a New England snowstorm, a family is sheltered by a mysterious old man who disappears the next morning, leaving behind a magical "Christmas card."

I really enjoyed this story. It's at your local library!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

The Christmas season is upon us. The Festival of Northern Lights began on Friday evening with the turning on of the lights. I was working and watched them come on through the large picture window at the library. Saturday was the annual Santa Claus parade, which I attended. Yes, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

REMEMBER...

YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
A Glistening mist falls across the field
We take out our weapons and start to wield
A shot is fired, a man is down
We are across seas we know not this town

It is an unfair fighting field, we know not what to do
but we keep on marching two by two
We brave soldiers stayed firm on our feet
We men and women could not be beat

Bombs are blown, shots are fired
Men are wounded, men are tired
The enemy’s soldiers deplete more and more
Everyone is happy we are winning this war

We brave soliders fought in WWII
We brave soldiers fought for all of you.
Those soldiers that fought and died for it
This free country we live in today
For the soldiers who died R.I.P We hope you may

We thank you for the free country we live in today.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors,
and the most patient of teachers.
