The librarians have ordered a small group of paperbacks from a variety of subjects/genres that we think may be of interest. So far we have included both popular and classic novels as well as some nonfiction and biography. Sample titles include: The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon, The Time Machine/The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, and No One Here Gets Out Alive by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman. Stop by and pick up a summer read today!

A full 31 days to promote the joy and benefits of photography.” Check out the Todd Library’s display of books and journals on and about photography and photographers.

April is National Poetry Month
What do Rita Dove, Robert Frost and Charles Simic all have in common? They have all been Poet Laureate of the United States! According to the poetry lovers at poets.org, “National Poetry Month was established by the Academy of American Poets as a month-long, national celebration of poetry. The concept was to increase the attention paid-by individuals and the media—to the art of poetry, to living poets, to our poetic heritage, and to poetry books and magazines. In the end, we hoped to achieve an increase in the visibility, presence, and accessibility of poetry in our culture.” Here at the Todd Library, check out our display of old favorites and new faces. Take a poem for “Poem in your Pocket” Day, April 17. Read the poem of the day. Enjoy!
“Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.” Charles Simic
