We had 27 staff members sign up and track reading time this summer, with 12 reaching their 30 hour goal and 9 reading 35+ hours.  Our winners for the staff-only drawing are: 

Charlene Horne (South)
Anne Morgan (HQ)
Pam Bloom (HQ). 

Congratulations to our winners!  Your certificates will be sent to you through interoffice mail.  A big thank you to all staff who participated and helped make our first Adult Summer Reading program a success!

national book lovers day

Did you know that August 9th is National Book Lovers Day?  To celebrate, TED has put together a few videos that are sure to inspire.  Do you judge a book by its cover, like Chip Kidd, or get absorbed into a compelling narrative like Andrew Stanton? Were you taken to new lands by foreign authors like Lisa Bu or exposed to nuances of your own language by a master of vocabulary like lexicographer Erin McKean? No matter what gets you nose-deep in a paperback, all you’ll want to do after watching these talks is curl up in your favorite reading spot and crack open (or at least swipe through) your favorite book.
