Thanks EWEB

  After the ice storm many of us have been cleaning up a bit.  Fortunately for the library the oak above the box did not sustain any damage.  EWEB did loose some branches and trees on their lot and this week sent a crew through straightening up.  The tree crew thinned out the stressed trees along Whitten and trimmed the oak tree above the library.  Nice and tidy and ready for spring.

  An interesting and eclectic set of new books in the box:  The Elegant Universe by Brian Green (Physics & Universal Theory), The Jungle by Upton Sinclair (Food Safety), These is My Words, Nancy E. Turner (Historical Fiction), What is the What by Dave Eggers (so called Pseudo-Autobiography) and Baa Baa Black Sheep by Iza Trapani another kids book donation from the Friendly Park Library.

  Coming up:  I have some books to give away courtesy of World Book Night!

Full House

  We just had an excellent donation of twenty-four children's books!  Yes 24 New Kids books!  Yahooza.  With a steady stream of recent adult book additions we just passed the 500 book mark.  This is five hundred books that have been noticed going through the box, there are likely books that come and go completely incognito.  Well done book folks and such a cool book box.  The early readers and kids who drop by will certainly dig into these new reads.

Generous Kids Book Donation!

  There are a couple of notable books that are hanging out in the box.  If you haven't read any of Erik Larson's historical books give In the Garden of Beasts a read.  This brilliant book details the politics and intrigue surrounding the last US Ambassador to Germany before the outbreak of the second World War.  It's very readable history, worth reading and thought provoking about the American mindset leading up to WWII.

  Thanks to everyone reading and contributing to our neighborhood library.
