April Displays
This month we have an adorable display of procelain birds in our curio cabinet. They are made by a local artist, Rita Olson. Rita has her own kiln, so she makes her creations all on her own. They will be on display until June.
We also have had a permanent display of 3D puzzles donated to the library. Our patron's favourite seems to be the Missisppi Steam Boat. Of course, the little girls just love Cinderella's castle.

February Displays
Red Hot Reads
Choose a book from our "Red Hot Reads" display. The only criteria for this display was that the cover had to be red in honour of Valentine's Day.
Freedom to Read Display
For the Month of February you can view our "Burnings and Bannings in History" Display. It gives a little history on books that have been challenged in the past. You might be surprised to find that it includes some good old favorite classics.

Life in the Library
Well, it is the middle of February and I've almost finished all the reports that have to be done by the end of February.
Our Library System has also implemented a new Intigrated Library System (computer program). It went live yesterday. It was very exciting, but hard on the old brain as well. I'm sure that once I get used to it I'm going to love it. It is the Unicorn System that is used by thousands of libraries all over the world. It is a big step up from our old DOS based program. This one is Windows based and looks very nice.
Our library clients have been really patient with us as we are learning this new program. We love all our library users!!

Gulliver's Travels
Well, I had a post from the Teen Online Reading Club about Gulliver's Travels and I realized that I haven't read the whole book. I've always read the part about Lilliput, but never finished. So I am currently reading Gulliver's Travels.
Does anyone have a favorite land that Gulliver travelled to?

Charles Dickens Christmas Story
One of my goals for this holiday season was to read some Christmas stories by Charles Dickens. I read "Cricket on the Hearth" and totally enjoyed it. Of course, sometimes Dickens can be a little hard to read because the old wording he employs is not too easy to read. But once you get into the story it is really enjoyable.
It only took me an afteroon to read. Only three chapters in total. If you have read the story please let us know what you think.
If you don't have access to the book, you can read this story online by going to www.classicauthors.net and then clicking on Charles Dickens to see all the books.
