Goodbye to the Basile

January 31st, 2011

You may remember Ms. Basile from years ago when you used to check out books in the Kid’s room. Or you just might know her from around the Library. Either way this week is a sad week in Lib-land.

“After 14 years of employment with the Manhattan-Elwood Public Library, Children’s Services Manager, Paula Basile, will retire on February 4, 2011.”

But fear not, there’s still one last chance to say goodbye

“The Library will host an informal going away open house for her during the day on Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011. Everyone is welcome to attend to extend their good wishes to her for a long and fulfilling retirement.”

So stop in and wish Ms. Basile the best on her adventures outside the Lib!

Feeling Lucky?

January 12th, 2011

We couldn’t help but pass on this opportunity (at this link) to meet the one and only creator of all things Bella/Edward to everyone. Before your heart stops beating and all that fun stuff, there will only be one winner from the entire U.S, but that person will not only get to be S.Meyer but get an exclusive copy of the Official Twilight Saga Guide before it’s out!

Good luck and if you win be sure to mention the Lib!
