Another first for me today!  I set up a Twitter account and posted my first tweet.  Although I was a bit leery at first, it wasn't bad at all and I didn't run into any major difficulties.  I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
I wonder if we'll get the big snowstorm tomorrow - I kind of hope we do - I am a lover of snow and all things winter.

I'm going to try post a short a book review each month so here goes!

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.  This is classed as a Young Adult Book but I would recommend it to anyone, It is set in 1939 Nazi Germany - Death has never been busier and will become busier still.  Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside Munich who scratches out a meager existence by stealing  when she encounters something she can't resist - books.  With the help of her accordion-playing foster father she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbours in bomb shelters during air-raids, as well as with the Jewish man hiding in her basement.  Narrated by Death, this book gives us a different but still haunting and stark picture of the holocaust, and the reality of life for the young people of Nazi Germany.
This book has been made into a movie which was released late last year.

New Library Blogger

Just created a blog for the first time!  I have been with the library for 22 years and still loving it.  Technology is certainly starting to play a big part in library services and I am looking forward to becoming more techno-savvy!
