Rain, Rain, Go Away

It's a quiet morning here at the library. Once in a while a damp patron will drift in, water dripping off a raincoat or umbrella making a trail through the library.

I heard it's supposed to rain all day. Should be quiet here all day, then. Who wants to leave the house on such a day?

I love the rain when I'm inside. As long as I don't have to be out in it, I love to listen to it. Especially at the library. The big windows in the back of the office provide a lovely view of the hillside leading up to Fidelity Bank. The rain is coming down in a curtain now, and it's soothing watching it when you're safe and warm inside. If I go in the children's library, the rain sounds really cool on the roof.

If you do come visit us today...did you know we have puzzles to work on? A rainy day just calls for puzzles, don't you think? In the Young Adult area, on the bottom shelves, we have several puzzles to work on. Start it and leave it for others to do, too!

You may not make it to the library today. But the next time you're in, take a look at some of our "rainy" materials. And Happy Rainy Tuesday to you!

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein (Adult Fiction, this month's Afternoon Book Club book. I just finished it and it was simply brilliant.)

Cloudette by Tom Lichtenheld (Children's picture book. We read it in Story Time Teens last month and it's super cute.)

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Children's dvd, based on the book by Judi Barrett.)

Scholastic's The Magic School Bus: Wet All Over by Patricia Relf (Children's book on the water cycle.)

Singin' in the Rain (Adult dvd...it's a Gene Kelly classic!)
