January 5, 2012 - End of Days

Welcome to the fifth day of the year 2012. I hope you had a marvelous New Year's Eve celebration and are sufficiently recovered to get on with keeping the resolutions you made the day after. I hope some of those resolutions included reading and using the library more. The year 2012 is an interesting year at least calendar-wise. We have all lived through various end-of-days scenarios as certain dates approached - like the year 2000, and this past year wasn't something predicted for October 21st, ? Well, for those of you who look forward to those kinds of things, there is something to look forward to in 2012. On December 21st, 2012 - the Mayan calendar (the long one, not the round one) comes to an end on that date (although some argue that it doesn't) which have lead some to conclude that that means the world ends on that date. In case you think this scenario might have some merit, I thought I'd let you know that you have 351 days to prepare. In the meantime, we are in the midst of a winter reading program where you can get rewarded for reading - something you obviously already enjoy doing because why else would you be reading this?-and we have a number of new titles you might find enjoyable. So cast your eyes down the page and see what good reads are waiting for you at your library. Enjoy!
