What's Brown and White and Toasted All Over?

Happy National Toasted Marshmallow Day! How are YOU celebrating?

There's nothing quite like toasting marshmallows over a campfire to make you feel all warm and summery. Sitting in a circle in the dark, listening to the wood crack and getting smoke in your eyes when the wind blows the wrong way. Bliss!

How do you enjoy your toasted marshmallows? Still raw? Perfectly browned? Burnt and crackly?

Make those last s'mores, as summer slowly ends...

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our new, shiny blog! I'm Laura, and I'll be maintaining "Overheard in the Stacks." My name will be on most posts, but stay tuned for posts from other staff and patrons.

This blog is for YOU - the Abington Community Library patron. This blog will keep you updated on the latest news, recommend our favorite things to you, and give you a way to stay connected with us.

If you're looking for a long, boring blog with lots of small text and lots of information, you're at the wrong place. Look for creativity, imagination, and humor here! The purpose of this blog is not only to inform, but to inspire.

What will you find here? Book reviews, helpful website links, how-to's, creative writing, event photos, author spotlights, interviews, and more! We have a staff with a wide range of interests and experience, and this blog will reflect that variety.
