Okay, so PAY THE PIPER was not the hit of the evening (last night, that is!), and I will not deny that the word "hate" was uttered at least a few times with direct reference to that book!


Heck, I thought it was a fun read, but I'm a librarian after all. We trend toward the strange as a matter of course. Makes life more interesting.

Well, a new book has been chosen, but a date has not yet been established (watch this space!).

The book to be read next month is THE REDHEADED PRINCESS by Ann Rinaldi. Copies of the book will soon be available at the Library, so get yours soon

The book is from a genre chosen by the teens (okay, two in particular) who were present last evening. I will not cite them by name, unless they wish the publicity. Historical fiction, especially as written by Ann Rinaldi, is fascinating and compelling.

LEAF PRINTING AT THE LIBRARY!!

What a wonderful way to celebrate autumn's magnificence!

Fifteen very imaginative Wyckoff teens attended Sharon Gross's leaf printing workshop last evening, and each walked away with their own treasured keepsake, a clear reflection of their creativity, a lovely leaf decorated journal.

Sharon showed us all that there are no limits to the creative mind!

Week after next (11/18): BOOK DISCUSSION--PAY THE PIPER!

NEW BOOKS,

NEW BOOKS OF FICTION,

NEW BOOKS OF TEEN FICTION

HAVE ARRIVED AT THE LIBRARY WITHIN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.

THEY WAIT FOR YOU!

...and as Obama was being elected president, the Wyckoff Teen Writer's Group was meeting in the Monroe Room, chocolate and etc. was eaten, the cat was decidedly out of the bag, roaming around the room, snarling, instruments of torture were discussed, and Katie should have barred the door.

Now, if you wish you knew what I was writing about just then, you should have been there.

Heck, you should have been there anyway!

Next month mayhap...(date to be announced!)

It's a new morning...
It's a new day....
We have a new president!

America has embraced wild and wonderful change with a grandly hopeful heart!

HEY! IT'S ELECTION DAY !!

and I know most of you won't be voting yet, BUT I hope you have been following this most historical election, one that will be long remembered, to be debated, written about, and discussed for many years, maybe even for the remainder of our lives, and beyond. Yes, we are experiencing history in the making, and it is at once thrilling and so very American!!

Tomorrow night, Election Night, 4 November 2008, the Wyckoff Teen writers WRITE AGAIN!!

At 6:30 PM until 8:00 PM in the Monroe Room of Wyckoff Library the Teen Writing Group will be regaling all with their creativity (always scary-fabulous!) while munching on food no one's parent would want them to eat, and sharing ideas and lunacy.

And consider this: when our meeting is over, our nation may have elected a new president!
