Five brave souls met last week on Thursday as the Wyckoff Library Teen Writers Group met for the first time this season.

The creativity, as ever, was rampant, and everyone had a great time. If you weren't in attendance, remember that we meet on the last Thursday of every month from 6:00 to 7:30 pm in the Monroe Room of the Library.

Looking to see you there next month!

PS: Next week on the 6th of October it's book discussion time. The book is PURPLE HEART and if you don't have a copy of this compelling and oh-so-timely novel but still wish to attend, come to the library--I have lots of copies left!

YESTERDAY MARKED THE BIRTHDAY OF T.S. ELIOT (Thomas Stearns Eliot, to his mommy), AND YOU WOULD BE WELL SERVED BY READING THE POEM LINKED BELOW:

A tortured soul (heck, he was a poet), read about his works, his life, then read more of his wonderful poetry (hey, we got it at the library).

Today is the first FULL day of fall, the Autumnal Equinox, and if you are interested in what that really means, here's a great link: http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/AutumnalEquinox.html

Speaking only for myself, I've been awaiting this change of season since the very first day the temperature rose past 85, but that's just me.

Enjoy this most magnificent time of year! (I always do...)
