Pat's Picks

"Horns" by Joe Hill

If you, like many of us, enjoy dark horror and fantasy, you are in for a real treat.  Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son) is gaining on his father’s reputation as a premier writer in the horror/fantasy genre.

Mother Goose Spotted

By Karen Towles

If you did not get a chance to see Mother Goose at the opening of the New Benning Neighborhood Library, don’t fret; she will be making an appearance at Northeast Library on May 1. This visit will be during the ever popular family program, “Music and Movement,” which takes place every first Saturday at 10 a.m. Rhymes, like music, facilitate the development of a child’s phonological awareness. What better way to start developing reading readiness skills than with Mother Goose nursery rhymes.

NorthEast Book Club

"Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe

The NorthEast Book Club: The book up discussion was Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. Everyone appreciated the innovative structure and plot of Things Fall Apart, though some were disappointed that Okonkwo, the main character, is destroyed, and brings ruin on others. The group spent some time discussing what might have happened to the town of Umuofia if Okonkwo had not gone on exile, and also about how hard it is to reinvent yourself when you move to a new town. It was a very thrilling book to read which lead to some interesting chats in our group.
