Looks like we're getting "weather" -- prepare yourselves! While you're out getting your bread and milk (why is it always bread & milk?) stop in at the library and pick up a good read. Who knows? The area may be without power this evening! What?! No Biggest Loser: Couples?!?! Does TiVo work even if the power's off?
Anyway, for your skimming enjoyment, I've got some titles that may intrigue you... - (The Schlowdown - CDT)view
I've been gone a while - sorry. The holidays seem to be sneaking up on us this year faster than you can spell Hanukkah. Here at Schlow we're revving up with our annual "Polar Express" tradition and free gift wrap designing in our children's department. We've got lots of great displays throughout the library with ideas for your holiday meals and recipes for sweet treats to pass along to friends, neighbors & co-workers (hint hint).

I have felt like there's a void in my life lately. When I turn on the TV, I've been surprised to see ads for household cleaners, cereal and toys instead of suits (or rolled up sleeves) telling me how horrible candidate A will be for America/Pennsylvania/Centre County and how candidate B is the only answer, but will only share it if elected. My mailbox is a bit lonelier lately, the shiny, oversize post cards no longer fill it. In the past 2 weeks, neither Chelsea Clinton, Jay Paterno, Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama or Scott Conklin have called & left messages.

Regular library users may have noticed a couple weeks ago that they were greeted by a "crew" in the vestibule either clicking or asking you to fill out a survey. This is one way that we here at Schlow Library keep on top of the needs of the community as well as gathering usage statistics for future planning.

OK, if you REALLY don't want to pay more library fines extended usage fees (see my last posting) I have a couple quick hints for you all to avoid them. Since I know we have an incredibly diverse group of library patrons, I'll try to address as many different ways as I can.

I woke up this morning to sound of pouring rain - a perfect day to stay inside and read. I am in luck because I have several books to read this weekend! My only problem is prioritizing which one to read first. I have the new Elizabeth Peters book, The Laughter of Dead Kings, which is a new Vicky Bliss mystery that takes place in Egypt. Peters also writes a more well-known series about Amelia Peabody, which also often takes place in Egypt, so it is interesting to see what her different take will be in this series.
