For several hours a week, I work at the Huntley Library re-shelving items. During this process, opportunity presents itself for me to peruse materials Iā€™d not see while looking on my own. Very often I say to myself, oh, that looks interesting … and then I keep it or jot down the info. Iā€™ll share some with you that pique my interest.

Islands Magazine

Who hasnā€™t dreamed about an island vacation? I was surprised to see an entire magazine on the topic. Evidently, many people must do more than dream. Every issue of Islands magazine provides a nearly unlimited number of island destinations. Editors aim to make it simple to pick the best vacation based on your needs and desires. Information appears in various categories including family-friendly destinations, all-inclusive resorts, romantic getaways, active trips, and even more specific selections that will help you narrow down your choices. Beautiful color photographs lure you on every page.

The Paris Librarian
Mark Pryor
Mystery FIC PRY

Iā€™m not a big mystery category reader but seeing the word ā€œlibrarianā€ in the title made me curious. The summary mentions a dead man found in a locked room in a library. That veers wildly from your normal expectations doesnā€™t it? Then, it says someone suspects ā€œmischief is afoot.ā€ Quite a turn of phrase donā€™t you think? I surely hope no Librarian is guilty of foul play! Sh-h-h-h.

Just Tell Me What to Say

This book resides in the parenting section of the childrenā€™s room. The subtitle is: sensible tips and scripts for perplexed parents of 2-6 year olds. And I say, itā€™s not just for parents. So often we think of exactly the right thing to say/do hours or days later. Iā€™m going to browse through it while on vacation and then purchase a copy as an anniversary gift for my niece & her husband. Iā€™ve peeked at several pages and am impressed with the simple, positive, helpful approaches used.

The Little Free Library Book

Andrew Carnegie said, ā€œA library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people.ā€ This delightful book tells how teeny, tiny, neighborhood free libraries have popped up all across America. Take a book, leave a book. The book is part coffee table decoration, part travelogue, part how-to, and part inspiration. I saw my first Little Free Library just last year up in Wisconsin. Amazingly, most of the beautiful samples in this book are in states/countries with NOT mild winters. Our Huntley Library Volunteer coordinator is working with a local Eagle Scout who plans to build 3 for placement in our Village. Isnā€™t that a great project?! Page through this gorgeous book; it will make you want to get some wood and a saw yourself.
