FEBRUARY 2011

"Books" - poem by Edgar A Guest

Upon my shelf they stand in rows, - A city-full of human souls,- Sages, philosophers and drolls - Good friends that everybody knows. - The drunkard shoulders with the saint;- The great are neighboring with the quaint - And they will greet me one and all - At any hour I care to call. - There's Dickens with his humble crew - That has no end of joy to give. - With all his people I can live - By moving just a foot or two. - Or should I choose to sail the sea,- Stevenson there will pilot me,- While jovial, lovable "Mark Twain" waits patiently my call again. - Sometimes a friend drops in and looks - My little sitting room around - And, in a manner most profound, - Remarks: "Your shelves are lined with books!" - "Not books," I say, but people wise - And men to cling to or despise. - Vast peopled cities, calm and still; For me to visit when I will." (Collected

Verse of Edgar Guest, copyright 1934 and 1942)

A Place to Relax and Read

Libraries' Popularity Rises as Economy Sinks

Article:Herald Net: Everett, Washington Published: February 5, 2009 - In a tight economy, more people are cutting back entertainment costs by checking out books and DVDs and turning to their public libraries for old fashioned help and services. Washington State Library recently surveyed library use in six categories at more than half of the state's public library systems. It found an 11 percent jump in checkouts over a six-month period, compared with the same period in the previous year. There was an increase in the number of people who used library computers to search the internet and the amount of time people spent using those computers..Libraries nationally are seeing a surge in activity, even in areas that have dipped in recent years as more people used search engines like Google, and they're pointing to the deepening recession as a reason for the uptick...

When people think of a library, they sometimes think of a particular structure or room from their past. More often people will think of a librarian who worked there. A circulation desk where they were greeted. A story time where they learned the magic of reading. A book that was recommended by that helpful person behind the desk. A library seems like a building, but it is actually a process, and a main feature of that process is that the library's staff is there to help.

"Read To Me"

"Read to me riddles and read to me rhymes .. Read to me stories of magical times .. Read to me tales about castles and kings .. Read to me stories of fabulous things .. Read to me pirates and read to me knights .. Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights .. Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then .. When you are finished-please read them again." by Jane Yolen

"What Is A Book"

"A book is pages, pictures and words. A book is animals, people and birds. A book is stories of queens and kings, poems and songs - so many things! Curled in a corner where I can hide. With a book I can journey far and wide. Though it's only paper from end to end, A book is a very special friend." by Lora Duneta
