1 What a wonderful time of year. Just before the cold kicks in November is a beautiful time of year as we look forward to the upcoming Holidays. It s a super busy but a memorable time as leaves change and families begin to gather. We at the library are going to try our best to keep up with the busy part. Monday Thursday 11 AM 9 PM Friday 12 PM 5 PM Saturday 10 AM 3 PM The Library is Closed on Sundays Wednesday November 11th & Thursday-Saturday November 26th-28th ~ Circulation Desk ext. 210 or 211 Reference Desk ext. 206 Children's Desk ext. 204 Teen and Youth Services ext. 208 Administration ext. 203 This is also the time of the year to catch up on reading before we buy a gift book. With gift books in mind you can t go wrong with the classics for young and old. A Steinbeck, Dickens or even Billy Shakes not only reads well but looks good on the shelf too. If you re looking for something newer but are not sure what might be a good read, give your librarian a call. She can tell you what the books clubs are reading and of those, which ones they recommend. Don t forget, November is also time for Thanksgiving. In addition to the cook books and diet plans that come afterward, November 9 thru 14 is Fine Forgiveness week. A canned good will not only go towards your fine but also contribute towards the township Food Pantry and a family in need. So if you re stuck for ideas this season, make a donation in someone s name or take it back to basics. Just make sure you leave out the red and green bow tie. Our Friends group are having their fall Craft Fair on November 14th, from 10:00AM - 2:00PM. Crafts and handmade goods bring us back to basics giving us the opportunity to get some early shopping done or find something different to decorate our homes.

When she is six, she goes blind, and her father builds her a model of their neighborhood so she can memorize it with her fingers and navigate the real streets. When the Germans occupy Paris, they flee to Saint- Malo on the Brittany coast. In Germany, an orphan boy, Werner, becomes a master at building and fixing radios, a talent that ultimately makes him a highly specialized tracker of the Resistance. Werner travels through the heart of Hitler Youth to the far-flung outskirts of Russia, and finally into Saint-Malo, where his path converges with Marie-Laure.
