The Writer's Almanac for Monday, October 24, 2005
"It's the birthday of the man who created Batman: Bob Kane, (books by this author) born in the Bronx (1916). He's one of the few boys in American history ever encouraged by his father to become a cartoonist. His father worked as an engraver for a newspaper, and he learned that cartoonists were being paid quite well. He knew his son had a talent for drawing, so he told young Bob to work on cartoons. By the time he was 16, Bob Kane was selling his work for $5 a page.
Batman is the alter-ego of multimillionaire Bruce Wayne and one of the few superheroes in the history of comic books who doesn't have any special powers."
(All you Batman freaks, and you know who you are, celebrate the day!!)

THE TEEN LIBRARY COUNCIL IS BACK! ! !
And it's cooler than ever, as evidenced by Wednesday night's turnout!
Lots of good chat, great suggestions, and terrific food was enjoyed by the seven interested teens who attended, plus me, Barbara, the YA (as in yay!) Librarian!
I got some great ideas from the Teen Council, along with the ones I already had, so everybody watch this spot for further news from me about more fun to be had. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . AT THE LIBRARY! ! !
I'm thinking about books to discuss (thanks to your suggestions which I've taken under advisement, as they say) and another meeting in two-three weeks, so check here, or the Wyckoff website for library news about what's happening for Young Adults.
