In conjunction with an effort by the American Library Association to highlight the Post 9/11 GI Bill, the library has posted a link on our homepage. The link directs users to a wiki set up by ALA that provides information and other links pertinent to veterans. On a related note the library will be closed on Tuesday November 11th in observance of Veteran’s Day.

Over on the library book blog is a link to a video introduction to some of the historical events that inspire Dennis Lehane’s new novel, “The Given Day”.

The newest feature of our website is one that I hope some enterprising folks will make their own.

Another way to connect with fellow fans of a genre or author and expand your book choices. It’s a work in progress and we are looking for help so don’t hesitate to offer assistance!
