Wow, this month has flown by since my last post! So many of you coming in for school reports and projects, etc., that I just haven't had a moment to make an entry.

First of all, a huge congratulations to the Hendrick Hudson Girls' Volleyball Team for their hard work earning a New York State Championship! Watching their games is so exciting, and I plan to be in the stands for many of their games next year.

I've been planning some spring programs for teens -- how about a knit/crochet class or chess instruction? Let me know if these sound like something you and your friends would sign up for...

Books just going on the shelf:

The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl by Barry Lyga -- Fanboy, having a rough sophomore year in high school, is secretly working on his graphic novel, convinced it will bring him fame and fortune, when he meets a kindred spirit in Kyra, aka Goth Girl...

Alabama Moon by Watt Key -- Moon lives as a survivalist in the Alabama woods until he becomes property of the state and is forced to live at a boys' home...

Beka Cooper by Tamora Pierce -- this author brings us another memorable character, a young female crimefighter in a world of magic...

National Geographic Investigates Series: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Inca, Ancient Greece, Ancient China

Have a fun Thanksgiving...enjoy your family and friends!

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween...we had more trick or treaters than ever at my home! And we still have lots of leftover candy!

We've just booked a teen program by a comic book artist for March. You'll be able to draw your own comic and then have it made into a book. This program has been given at other libraries around Westchester and has been very popular! Mark your calendars -- watch for reminders in February.

Let's all come out to support our HHHS Girls' Volleyball Team as they play for the Section I Championship Fri 5 pm at Pelham HS...good luck, girls!

Come in this weekend to check out lots of new books!
