For the months of September and October, Canton Public Library’s Gallery features the photographs of Wendy Rosenberg in a show titled “Backyard Images.”

Wendy Rosenberg is a self-taught photographer who happens also to be a Connecticut-certified Master Gardener.  By combining these two disciplines, she has created an exhibit of natural images taken directly from her own backyard.  From a horticultural perspective, she has transformed her backyard into a peaceful yet bustling natural habitat with plants, flowers, and water features that attract many species of birds, insects, and other creatures.  From a photographic perspective, she has captured many unusual and rarely seen activities of the wildlife right outside her door.

All of Ms Rosenberg’s photographs are true-to-life and never digitally or computer enhanced.  She uses a Nikon digital SLR for all of her photographs.

The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours.  For more information, call the library at 860-693-5800.

Last week James Patterson released his newest book in the Alex Cross series: Alex Cross's Trial.  In this book, Detective Cross relates the story of his great-uncle Abraham and his struggles for survival in the Ku Klux Klan-era South. 

If you are a Patterson fan, you know how prolific he is: he has two more books coming out this fall.  The first one, The Murder of King Tut, is his second foray into nonfiction, and it will be released on September 28.  And then on November 16 comes I, Alex Cross.  From the book description: "Detective Alex Cross is pulled out of a family celebration and given the awful news that a beloved relative has been found brutally murdered. Alex vows to hunt down the killer, and soon learns that she was mixed up in one of Washington's wildest scenes. And she was not this killer's only victim."

Alex Cross's Trial is currently owned by the library, but at this time all copies are checked out.  The Murder of King Tut and I, Alex Cross are on order.  You may place copies of any of these three books online or by calling us at 860-693-5800.
