      Girl Sleuth:Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her by Melanie Rehak. The story of the creation of Nancy Drew, one of our most famous American literary icons, is almost as exciting as Nancy's adventures themselves. Originally the germ of an idea of Henry Stratemeyer, the creator of other long-lived characters like the Bobbsey Twins and Tom Swift, Nancy was actually developed through the collaborative effort of several individuals-Stratemeyer himself, his daughters Harriet and Edna, who took over his company after his death, and a hard-working Midwestern journalist by the name of Mildred Wirt Benson. In Ms. Rehak's book the real Nancy Drew mystery is revealed! The library has thirty volumes of the series as well as many Hardy Boys, Dana Girls, and Bobbsey Twins editions.

       the Chicago and the Cat series by Robin Michal Koontz.  If your kids are at the stage of learning to read where the 'easy reader' chapter books are becoming a staple, they really might enjoy this series. Chicago, a thoughtful, clever, and hard-working rabbit is tricked into inviting a nameless cat into her orderly house. The adventures of the pair, who are total opposites, make for some amusing reading by kids and adults alike.

Christmas Remembrance
     We all think about Christmases past at this time of year, and remember the good times with family and friends, some of whom may no longer be with us. You can pay a tribute to loved ones and help your library as well by participating in our Light Our Christmas Tree program. For just a 5 dollar donation, you can support a light on our tree. We will place an ornament with your memorial or your own name on the tree in our window. Your donation will allow the library to continue to provide needed services in our community. Please consider including the library as part of your charitable giving this Christmas season. Thanks very much.

Santa is Coming!
     Just a last minute reminder about the Annual Christmas Parade tomorrow, December 9, 2007 at 2PM. The parade starts at Rite Aid and goes up Lehigh Ave. to the Wachovia Bank lot. In case of bad weather, everything will happen at the Elks on S. Third St. See lots of great cartoon characters, floats, the North Schuylkill Band, and the man himself, Santa! Hot chocolate and cookies will be served after the parade. So come out and support this great hometown event.
