Thank you

I would like to thank all of you who have helped us out this year: Ananda, Danielle, Jason, Joe, John, Laura, and Will. Please let me know if I've forgotten anyone. We can always use volunteers, so stop by the desk if you are interested, or leave me a message here.

An Extra Second

2005 will have one extra second added on in order to make up for a slight slowing down of the Earth's rotation. The addition of this "leap second" has not been needed since 1998. So remember, when counting down to 2006...5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1/2, Happy New Year!

Fahrenheit 451

Come discuss this Ray Bradbury work and help us "burn" some books. Copies are available at the Main Desk. Participants will meet Saturday, January 21st at 1pm. Snacks & sodas will be served. This program is open to students in middle school, or by special permission.

This program is part of the We the People Bookshelf Grant.

Snow Day?

They're calling for a snow day, but the weather channel is only reporting 3-5 inches. It's probably good enough for a two hour delay. Remember, wear you pajamas inside out tonight if you want tomorrow off.
