Librarian’s Corner

Welcome to Librarian’s Corner.

Hopefully, this blog will help connect those staying at home during and post COVID-19 Pandemic to their hometown library.

I’m inviting you to join in regular discussions presented on this blog. We will start with virtual versions of our programs, as well as some new offerings: new online Book Discussions – What are you reading?  Film Discussions – What are you watching?  Makers Discussions  – What are you creating? Cooking Discussions: What’s cooking? 

A note on our comment policy:

Please post comments to join in these discussions. Comments will be read prior to posting for appropriate content. There are plenty of blogs out there about politics, religion, and personal perspective. I would like to have discussions here on your views about what you like to read, watch, and create. 

In addition to these discussions, you’ll find other posts with resources, fun facts about the library and our community, collection updates, and more, so stay tuned!

Cooking Discussion #1

May 6, 2020
I really wish I could have started the Cycle of Life Project Library Garden for early Spring planting, but COVID-19 closed the library and planting must wait. The last Library Garden I did yielded a bountiful harvest that led to the best vegetable soup I’ve ever had and it was so simple: We grew our own eggplants, red and green bell peppers, potatoes, escarole, and spinach. I sauteed all of these in butter (olive oil...

Film Discussion #1

Book Discussion #1

May 4, 2020
What are you reading this week? I just re-read The Shadow of the Wind (El cementerio de los libros olvidados #1) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón for the Evening Book Club. If you are looking for a series where each book stands on its own, but together really complements and enhances each other as a series, I highly recommend visiting the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a place inspired into existence by Zafón and I’ve really enjoyed...
