January 26, 2012 - Beginnings and Endings

Well. Since last we communicated the Packer's football season has come to an end and we are a little more than a week away from the Super Bowl. Some of us, who are one-sport fanatics - that sport being professional football in my case-are at about the end of our sport and have a long, barren time to get through before the pre-season hoopla starts. Those of you who are not football fans or are not mono-fanatics, are probably already counting the days until spring training starts (The beginning of March, I believe). Why, the way this month is flying past, next thing you know it will be Ground Hogs' Day and then we are only about six weeks away from Spring (Ground hog willing.) In case you're keeping track, we have been adding daylight at a great clip. Since January 10th, we've been gaining time at both ends of the day. The sun is now rising 10 minutes earlier in the morning and setting forty minutes later in the evening. Now that's progress if you ask me! And as we progress through the month of January, we are getting closer and closer to the start of our month of community reading. This year's read is called "DeForest Reads 'Til Pigs Fly". If the title intrigues you, check out our website or stop by the library for more information. We have a number of new books for your reading enjoyment so cast your eyes down the page to see what we have in store for you.
