Happy New Year!

Well, it's been a good year. What have you accomplished? How did those resolutions turn out? Ready to make some more?

The January book display's theme here at the library is "The New You." There's no better time than January 1 to make a change, start fresh, or try something new.

If you're making a resolution or two this year, choose carefully! Don't set goals that are impossible to reach, but don't sell yourself short. If it's important enough, you go out there and do it. And don't keep them to yourself; a little accountability will keep you motivated.

Check out the display the next time you're in the library for some ideas on shaping "the new you." Here are some books currently on those shelves:

Be the Change You Want to See in the World: 365 Things You Can Do for Yourself and Your Planet by Julie Fisher-McGarry

Lighten Up: Love What You Have, Have What You Need, Be Happier With Less by Peter Walsh

The Carb Lovers Diet: Eat What You Love, Get Slim for Life! by Health Magazine

The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness by Dave Ramsey

Happy New Year from all of us at the Abington Community Library!

From the hottest celebrities to historical figures to people I had never even heard of...memoirs have been a popular genre recently.

Happy Holidays from the Library

In case you haven't noticed, it's the holiday season!
The stores are crowded, music is always playing, and there's a general feeling of cheer and festivity in the air.

Maybe you'll see family or friends you haven't seen in a while. Maybe you'll be traveling, or hosting people in your home.

Whatever you do around Christmas, or Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa...make it memorable!

And don't forget to stop by the library to pick up favorite holiday reads like:

• Skipping Christmas by John Grisham (also a movie - Christmas with the Kranks)
• The Christmas Train by David Baldacci
• Christmas mystery novels by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark
• A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

or heartwarming holiday movies like:

• It's a Wonderful Life
• White Christmas
• Elf
• The Santa Clause

Have a safe, warm, fun weekend!

Shhhh!

Did you know that we have a quiet reading room?
As the name suggests, it's quiet. And it's for reading.

Aaand, you have to be over 18 to use it! So it's perfect for adults who are reading the daily paper or magazines, or college students studying for exams or writing papers.

The room is very peaceful and comfortable. The softest chairs in the library rest in this room! There are pictures on the wall and plants tended by our librarian with the greenest thumb, Teresa. In the corner sits a desk; perfect to set a laptop or notepad on.

Check it out the next time you're in. But remember, it's quiet! No tutors allowed in there. It's a peaceful spot in the middle of our busy library.

You can find it just past the Reader's Service desk when you walk into the library on your left.

Just Dip It In Chocolate!

Happy National Chocolate Covered Anything Day!
If you've ever used a chocolate fondue fountain, you know that, yes, anything can be dipped in chocolate.

Something strange happens when you have chocolate flowing freely. You just have to grab any kind of food within reach and dip it in.

"Hey, what about this? How would carrots taste?"
"I don't know...dip it and we'll find out!"

Cover something in chocolate, and you have a whole new taste experience. Give it a try...

What do you like to cover in chocolate?

fruit (pineapple, banana, strawberries)
angel food cake
Oreos
nuts
marshmallows
pretzels
potato chips


I have never tried this...but how could you go wrong??

The sky's the limit! Cover anything in chocolate today to celebrate!

Book Magic

Do you have a couple minutes to look at something beautiful? You won't regret it; I promise.

Click here.

Marvelous, isn't it?

The first sculpture, found at the Scottish Poetry Library, had a note containing these words:

We know that a library is so much more than a building full of books… a book is so much more than pages full of words.… This is for you in support of libraries, books, words, ideas….. a gesture (poetic maybe?)  

Libraries are so much more than buildings. Books are so much more than pages and words.

Thank you to the secret admirer of libraries! And if YOU are so creatively inclined, we certainly wouldn't object to finding our own sculpture here. *hint, hint...*

Happy National Pie Day!

Actually, according to my sources, there appear to be in fact TWO National Pie Days, the other one being January 23. Not to be confused with Pi Day on March 14! But we'll go ahead and celebrate pie today.

Ahh, there's nothing quite like a homemade pie. Buttery crust, scrumptious filling. What's your favorite kind of pie? Chocolate, caramel, or shoo fly? Fruity kinds like apple, blueberry, or peach? Savory pies like quiche or chicken potpie?

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Though I'm more of a cake person, I really get into pies like coconut custard and chocolate peanut butter! And nothing beats warm apple pie, right out of the oven.

So eat some pie today! Bake some pie today! And check out the books below, available through the Lackawanna County Library System.

Happy Pie Day!



The Everything Pie Cookbook by Kelly Jaggers (lots of delicious and unusual recipes)

Clara Lee and the Apple Pie Dream by Jenny Han (children's book about a girl who wants to win the Little Miss Apple Pie contest)

Apple Pie ABC by Allison Murray (teach your kids the ABCs with this picture book!)

Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke (mystery with recipes!)

Want more pie? Check out the American Pie Council's website by clicking here.

Happy Birthday!

Today, celebrate the birthdays of two of my favorite authors growing up: C. S. Lewis and Louisa May Alcott!

Though these authors were quite different, their children's books have been well loved for years.



Lewis's series of fantasy novels for children, The Chronicles of Narnia, have been his most popular books. They have been made into movies, and and are enjoyed by children all over the world.

I remember getting lost in the world of Narnia when I was little, and dreaming of the day when I, too, would discover a magical land in the back of my wardrobe. This never happened, but I never stopped loving the books! The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the first book in the series, is my favorite. It's a story of friendship and betrayal, love and perserverance. Good versus evil!



Louisa May Alcott was asked to write a book for girls, and what followed was the classic novel, Little Women. A story of four sisters, this book was so well received that Alcott had to keep writing! Girls everywhere loved (and continue to love!) the characters of willful Jo, beautiful Meg, compassionate Beth and prideful Amy.

Little Women will always remain my favorite of Alcott's novels, but I also enjoyed Eight Cousins, Little Men, and Jo's Boys. They're timeless!

Check out books by C.S. Lewis and Louisa May Alcott in your local public library. And also find the movies made from them!

Happy reading,

Holiday Marketplace 2011

What a day!

We had hundreds of people from the community (and beyond!) join us last Saturday, November 12, for our third annual Holiday Marketplace.

Tables of vendors selling everything from soaps to jewelry to candy wove all around the library. We had live music, readings from A Christmas Carol, and a mini marketplace for kids. A general feeling of holiday spirit spread throughout the library as shoppers picked out gifts and then had them wrapped at our table run by the Teen Leadership Committee. The teens also sold dozens of cookies, brownies, and other delicious treats at their bake sale.

It was a busy day at the desk to be sure, with plenty of people eager to get library cards, or their favorite books and movies. The library was full, and the day was a rousing success.

People continued to buy tickets to the basket raffle all day, and we had many thrilled winners after we pulled the tickets!

This day would not have been possible without the hard work of Dorothy Boccella, Sandy Longo, and Leah Rudolph,as well as all of the adult and teen volunteers! Thanks for helping, thanks for attending, and we'll see you next year.

Cozy and Warm

Been enjoying the beautiful, sunny weather? I'll take it as long as I can get it, but I'm sorry to say it won't last forever!

Winter is coming. So why not get cozy and read a good book?

These colder months are the perfect time to read that certain book you haven't had time for yet. Is it too cold or snowy to go anywhere? Read the book you picked up from the library!

If you hear about a storm coming, after you hit up the grocery store for milk and bread, stop by the library and stock up on DVDs! It's good to be prepared for a quiet evening at home. And the library is the best place for you to borrow the books, movies, CDs, and magazines that you love.

While you're enjoying these cozy winter evenings, why not try your hand at whipping up some quality hot chocolate? The recipe below comes from a book available here at the library, The Little Big Book of Comfort Food by Katrina Fried.

Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream
Serves 2

Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1 cup cream
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate
2 T sugar

1. Combine the milk, cream, chocolate, and sugar in a saucepan and heat over a low flame, stirring constantly with an eggbeater or whisk.
2. When the mixture is smooth and just starting to bubble, remove it from the heat and pour into two mugs. Serve with cinnamon sticks, peppermint sticks, fresh whipped cream (recipe follows), or marshmallows.

Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
1/2 pint whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla or peppermint extract
1 tsp sugar

1. Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Whip with an electric mixer or by hand until stiff peaks form.
3. Spoon the whipped cream onto the steaming hot chocolate. Or it can be covered and refrigerated for several hours.

Snackin' On Healthy Food Is What We Like to Do!

Did you know that November is Good Nutrition Month? (Bonus points if you know where the title of this blog post is from...)

Ironic, isn't it? Considering we probably eat more "bad" food this month and next than any other time! Cream, butter, sugar, fat. Comfort food, holiday food, party food. Yum!

Enjoy your special seasonal food, but remember: everything in moderation! Fill up on fruits and vegetables first, and I'm not talking about the kinds swimming in sauces. Make smart choices, and you won't be regretting it later in January when you're writing out your New Year's resolutions...

Our children's librarian, Mary Ann McGrath, has set out a nutrition display in the Children's Area with several great books. Check it out with your kids next time you're in, so they'll be able to start making good food choices now.

And click here for Nutrition.gov, to learn about weight management, meal planning, calories, and more!

Books on Nutrition
Available in the Lackawanna County Library System

• How Did That Get in My Lunchbox? The Story of Food by Christine Butterworth
• Food Rules: An Eater's Manual by Michael Pollan
• Start Fresh: Your Child's Jump Start to Lifelong Healthy Eating by Tyler Florence

National Men Make Dinner Day

Well, it's the first Thursday in November, and do you know what that means?

Hopefully you do by now, if you read the title of this blog post...

I heard on the radio this morning that today is National Men Make Dinner Day! Are you a man? Do you know a man? Make dinner/have him make you dinner!



According to the official website, which you may find by clicking here, there are 10 good reasons to celebrate National Men Make Dinner Day. My favorite is #6: "Whatever recipe you choose, you can name it after yourself. Example: Tonight's dinner is called 'Doug's Surprise.'"

The Lackawanna County Library System, luckily enough, has a fabulous collection of cookbooks. Some of these are especially meant for men! Here are a few:

Real Men Cook: Rites, Rituals, and Recipes for Living by Karega Kofi Moyo

Smokin' with Myron Mixon: Recipes Made Simple from the Winningest Man in Barbeque by Myron Mixon

Real Men Don't Cook Quiche: The Real Man's Cookbook by Scott Redman

Enjoy this national day, and let us know if you've try any good new recipes!

Guest Post: Facts of a Mysterious Holiday

Guest post by one of our own, Laura D.!

A breeze whips through the streets, carrying with it the first bite of winter and sending the dried leaves dancing through the moonlit night. On the sidewalks, young princesses and pirates, ghosts and ghouls race from house to house clutching their bags of treats and filling the air with their joyous laughter.

Halloween is a holiday that those of us in the United States are very familiar with. It is the night in October, that as children, we all looked forward to. It was a chance for us to pretend to be whatever we wanted to be, spend time with friends, and get a sugar rush that drove our parents crazy. However, how much do we really know about this mysterious holiday? The following are some surprising facts about this long-lived tradition.

1. Halloween is believed to have originated in Ireland about 6,000 years ago.

2. The modern day version of trick or treating originated from a medieval Christian practice in which on Hallowmas the poor would go door to door offering prayers for the dead in exchange for food.

3. The first Jack O’ Lanterns were actually carved turnips.

4. Orange and black are the colors associated with Halloween because orange represents the harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.

5. Young Celtic girls believed that if they threw apple peels over their shoulder on Halloween the peels would form the initials of their future husband.

6. Dressing up in costume for Halloween is believed to have originated from the ancient Celtic tradition of wearing masking when leaving the house on Halloween to allow them to go unnoticed by wandering spirits.

7. Halloween is the second largest commercialized holiday.

8. In the United States, the largest Halloween parade is the Village Halloween parade in New York City. It has over 50,000 participants and draws around 2 million spectators.

            9. Tootsie rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America.

            10. The most popular candy for Halloween is chocolate candy bars, with Snickers topping the list at #1.

                        

If you want to find out more interesting facts about Halloween or get some great spooky holiday ideas, check out these items available in the Lackawanna County Library System. Happy Halloween and safe trick-or-treating!

Author Spotlight: Alan Bradley

The first time I read about Flavia de Luce, it was for the Afternoon Book Club.

I facilitate this book club, (which meets the third Wednesday every month and is super fun, by the way!) and last December we read The Sweetness of the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley.



I. loved. it.

The writing was so fresh and witty, I was drawn right in. The mystery is told from the perspective of Flavia de Luce, an eleven-year-old aspiring chemist living in a small English village in the 1950s. She's spunky, independent, and happens to have the unlucky talent of running across dead bodies.

After reading this first book in the series, I quickly put the second book on hold at the library: The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag.



Then, when the third one was published, A Red Herring Without Mustard, I was first in line to read it!



I thoroughly enjoyed each one. And aren't the covers beautiful? I definitely judge books by their covers, and these ones are so vivid they just pop right off the shelf at you.

When we discussed the first book, several members of the club said they thought parts of the book were too predictable. (I am usually blissfully unaware of a mystery's ending right up until the big reveal.) If you're a hard-core mystery reader who likes a real challenge, these may not be for you. If you're in the mood for a fun mystery with a delightful character, though, check these out!

And...put Alan Bradley's next book in the series on hold today! It's coming out November 1.

A Victorian Holiday

If you've been to the library in the past week, you've seen the variety of gift baskets on display. These baskets have been donated by people and businesses in our community for...the Holiday Marketplace!



That's right, the Holiday Marketplace is just around the corner - Saturday, November 12, from 10am - 4pm. This will be its third year at our library, and it's going to be bigger than ever!

I worked on the day of the last Holiday Marketplace, and I'm telling you, it's worth checking out. The whole library has a different look, a festive atmosphere. Vendors selling all kinds of gift items are set up throughout the library. After you browse and shop, you can get your items gift-wrapped. Then, stop by the bake sale run by the Teen Leadership Committee. And of course, winners will be drawn for the gift baskets!



The 2011 theme is A Victorian Holiday. The day will include readings from holiday classics, live music from 1-3pm, and new this year, a "Mini-Marketplace" for young shoppers!

This day is not to be missed. Not only will you be able to do some fun holiday shopping, you will support your library. This event raises money for the library, so it can keep providing quality programming and new materials. Show your love for the library on this special day.



Next time you're in, pick up some raffle tickets! 2 for $1, 12 for $5, and 25 for $10. Here at the front desk you'll see the lottery ticket tree - just one of the baskets! And the Teen Leadership Committee is selling Gertrude Hawk candy bars for $1. Stop in, take a look, and say hello!

More eBooks!

A few weeks ago, I wrote about eBooks. I gave reasons on why you should check out library eBooks, as well as instructions on how to download them. (Check out that blog post by clicking here.)

At the end of that post, I noted that Kindle eBooks were not currently available. Guess what? Now they are!

I got to play around with a Kindle (not mine! I don't own an eReader) and downloaded some library eBooks myself. They were very simple to download; the eBook appeared on my device within seconds of checking it out.

I put together some basic instructions on how to download Kindle eBooks. Check them out below, along with the instructions previously posted on how to download eBooks on other devices such as the Nook or the Sony Reader.

Here are a few of the titles available to you on our eCatalog, which you can access by clicking here:

Meet Dewey

How much do you know about the Dewey Decimal System?

It's the system we use to categorize our non-fiction items: books, DVDs, and talking books. This system makes it easy to browse the right section. If you know that 400s is the language section, you can check for Spanish language books in the adult books, kids' books, talking books, and DVDs.

So here's the basic list:

000: Computers, information, general
Check here for help in learning the latest computer program.

100: Philosophy, psychology
Here's where a lot of the self-help books are!

200: Religion
Find anything from the Bible to the Koran, devotionals to Greek mythology.

300: Social sciences
Check out your relationship books - dating, family, marriage, etc.

400: Language
Learn to speak Italian or learn to sign with your hands!

500: Natural science
Here you'll find information on plants and animals in their natural state, like mushrooms growing in forests and sharks living in the ocean. This section also includes the science of math, so check here if you need help with your algebra!

600: Technology and applied science
While the 500s section contains books on unchanged nature, the 600s section holds books on how humans use nature. So we've got books on inventions, cooking, gardening, medicine, pets, etc.

700: Arts and recreation
Learn how to take a good photo, paint a picture, draw a cartoon, or throw a baseball.

800: Literature
Look here for poetry, instruction on writing, humorous writing, and plays.

900: History, geography, biography
The biography section is 92, so if you're looking for a biography on Abraham Lincoln, look under 92 Lincoln.

Now, this really is basic. You can get much more specific. For instance, you may know you can find books about pets in the 600s, but 636 is domesticated animals and 636.7 is specifically dogs.

I found a neat website created by students to teach other students about the Dewey Decimal System. Check it out here to learn more! I learned some things I never knew!
