New do?

Well before Snookie rocked the bump, there was the "Quick Quiff". Demonstrated on page 24, it really is the same style that many young girls are attempting today.

It's a little dated, but most of these styles are still easy to spot today. One style I'm glad I don't see very often is the Plaid Braid. It is essentially wrapping your hair in wide ribbon, so it somewhat resembles a horse's tail.
This one is sure to be a hit, come early to the next Book Sale, July 3rd down by the lakefront and at the Barrett Memorial library.

A Cat's life lessons


"This book is for cat lovers - those charmed by the cat's inscrutable ways, calmed by their purring, awed by their grace, and fascinated by their personalities - those who will always find delight in the cat."

For cat lovers alike, I would like to share a few of my favorite chapter titles.
- Share the Sunshine
- Everybody Deserves To Be Rescued
- The Soft Sound of Humility
- Value Is Not Based on Purr-chase Price
- Be Finicky About Your Choice of Words
-Credible People Recognize Im-paws-tors

Check it out at our new booksale, coming up July 4th weekend at the Barrett Memorial Library

Too Scary!

Call me Downer Debbie, but this looks frightening. The back cover reads "Boo!!! Have you ever had somethingscare you? On the Island of Sodor, even the bravest of engines sometimes get scared. Why take Percy - - he said that he's not scared of anything. What do you think? Help Thomas use the carnival Chinese Dragon to play a little joke on Percy."

Considering the average age of a Thomas fan is about 3, I am wondering if this bloody train scene is really what Rev. W. Awdry had in mind when he created Thomas. I will give them props for incorporating some Chinese culture into this rather traditional show, but does this dragon result in a blood bath?

Check it out at the Barrett Memorial library.
