Library Director’s Notebook

September, 2010

Lots of people make resolutions in January, the beginning of the calendar year.  But all my years of going to school each September, followed by my son’s school years have made me feel that September is the true “beginning” of the year and a good time to make resolutions and form new habits.

A taste of honey

Beekeeper Roger Robitaille works for hours removing hives and bees from under the eaves at the Barrington Public Library. The hives had generated several large swarms earlier in june which also were removed by beekeepers.  The bees will be transported to a new home where they can safely establish new hives.

Library Director’s Notebook

March, 2010

Often friends tell me that they hesitate to buy me books for birthdays or holidays because they assume I’ve “read everything already”.  Not true! Although I am a voracious reader, there’s no way I can read even the smallest percentage of all the worthwhile books out there.  So I’m always happy when a friend gives me a book as a gift or loans me a copy to read.
