Talent Show this weekend!

Don't forget to come to The Not Necessarily Talented Talent Show at Hendrick Hudson High School this Friday and Saturday nights at 7 pm. You may find out someone you know has hidden talents!

By the way, if you're looking for books for the BMMS "Outlaw Project," you'd better come to the library to put some books on hold right away -- any we had are already out, as are those at the Croton and Peekskill libraries. We'll have to look to buy more books about outlaws in the coming months. (Unfortunately, that doesn't help you!)

Enjoy the weekend!

New Day, New Books

Had a great time Sunday visiting the Stamford Museum and Nature Center for their Halloween Spooktacular and Death by Chocolate Baking Contest (accompanied a friend who works there). Saw the largest pigs ever and some very strange-looking llamas, and watched an otter in his habitat. And some of the brownies were delicious...

Some new books you might like that I'm ordering today:

Sonnenblick, Notes from the Midnight Driver: Alex gets drunk, steals and totals his mom's car, then has to serve 100 hours visiting the crabbiest resident of an old-age home. Come meet a memorable cast of characters...

Mainardi, The Life of Pope John Paul...in Comics! Something to check out!

Vande Velde, All Hallows' Eve: 13 Stories: Halloween fans too old for trick-or-treating will love this one -- creepy and gruesome!

Steele, The Taker: Carly accepts a text message offering nearly perfect SAT scores so she can get into Princeton -- what are the strings attached? And what are the pressures of standardized tests and college admissions?

Flinn, Diva: A follow-up to Underwater, Caitlin's story deals with her obsessions about weight, her new school, and her relationship with her mother. A meaty but fast read...

Hope you find something you enjoy!
