Book Groups Anyone?
There are a number of different book groups that meet here at the library on a monthly basis. Some groups cover
specific subjects, such as the History Book Group for Men, while others read a variety of different genres. There
are several groups looking for new members. If you are interested in joining, please contact either Janice Robbins
or Ann Cloonan at the Library 234-3570 for more information. If you are interested in starting a new book group,
we are more than willing to help with book suggestions, a place to meet and ordering books for your group.

Local History
As you drive past cemeteries and admire houses, have you ever wondered about the story behind them? Nestled
upstairs between the Biography and Young Adult collections lies a bright passageway that contains our Local His-
tory collection. You don't need to be a history buff to enjoy the obscure facts and interesting stories that make up
Bedford's past. From a 1939 student report about Bedford Village to various oral histories, to the massacre at In-
dian Hill and the burning of Bedford, there are a myriad of interesting materials waiting to be discovered. Next time
you are at the Library, take a moment to sit at the comfortable window seat and browse through this wonderful col-
lection.

                        If the Bedford Library’s life story were to be written, the loss of Rica Fissell, Library
                        Trustee, thirty year volunteer and genuine friend, would be a sad chapter. She loved the
                        Library and the feeling was mutual. Beyond her family and friends, Rica was
                        happiest around books and book people.

                      Many of us remember the Library in its pre-computer days, when Rica volunteered her
                      time, usually four days a week. She would type with the utmost care and accuracy, on a
                      not very good typewriter, the author, title and subject cards for every book that came
                      into the Library. Book borrowers will recognize her trademark neat numerals
                      on each book pocket, a visible reminder that she was and is a continuing part of the
                      Library’s life. And when computers replaced the old wooden card files, Rica, with
her quick mind, adapted easily to the new system and she brought the rest of us along with her into the
electronic age.
With her gentle manner and simple grace, she was a clear observer of literature, both classic and contempo-
rary. She was a wordsmith in the most elegant sense of the term and her pitch perfect comments were
always softened by a generous, brilliant and often witty turn of phrase.
Poet Laureate Billy Collins was a particular favorite of Rica’s. In a closing stanza of his poem
"Royal Aristocrat," he writes:
                                      Such deep silence on those nights-
                                          just the sound of my typing
                                  and a few stars singing a song their mother
                                  sang when they were mere babies in the sky.

Rica Kane Fissell is infinitely memorable and everyone in and around the Library will miss her endlessly.

Annual Appeal 2008-2009

                “The Bedford Free Library is a wonderful place that radiates community spirit and a
               love of learning. Truly one of the county’s most precious treasures.” – Patron Comment

This quote was among many written by patrons on their donation cards last year. The Library is indeed a
wonderful place and a valuable community resource. Far from being a quaint, quiet repository of books,
it is a thriving resource for your many needs, and we invite you to visit and enjoy this hive of modern ac-
tivity. In order to maintain this role, the Bedford Free Library depends on your financial support to make
up the difference between the Library’s operating costs and the amount that the town is able to fund.
The Library is facing financial cuts from the town at a time when people are turning to the Library for
more services. In addition to the many forms of media available at the Library, there is also extensive
programming targeting different ages-and all of this is cost free. Take a few minutes to read the newslet-
ter and see all that the Bedford Free Library has to offer. Making an investment in the Library’s future is
one that will provide you and your family with many benefits.
We thank you in advance for your support.

Friends News
What do the books To Kill a Mockingbird, The Bridge to Terabithia, and The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer have in common? If you answered that they frequently appear on school reading lists
you would be correct. But it might interest you to know that each one of these books has also
at some point in our history been challenged or even banned from our public school or library
shelves. This list of distinction includes Harry Potter, Julie of the Wolves, and A Wrinkle in
Time as well as Call of the Wild, The Giver, and The Catcher in the Rye. Each work for various
reasons has been the object of censorship or censorship attempts.

The reasons for censorship are as varied as obscenity, treason, heresy, and racism. Shake-
speare’s Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear have been banned from school reading lists citing
adult language and references to sex and violence. In one New Hampshire school system,
Twelfth Night was pulled from the school’s curriculum after the school board passed a
―prohibition of alternative lifestyle instruction‖ act. However, many books are banned for the
seemingly simple and benign complaint that they are ―unsuited to age group‖.

This year on September 27 – October 4, the American Library Association celebrated the
American freedom to read with ―Banned Books Week.‖ The annual event reminds Americans
not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. At our own Bedford Free Library,
Julie Rockefeller, the YA librarian commemorated ―Banned Books Week‖ with a program for
young adults. At this event, teens addressed the question of freedom of expression in relation
to classic young adult literature. They read, discussed and participated in group activities de-
signed to explore this multifaceted subject. They learned the importance of the First Amend-
ment, but also the complex issues surrounding freedom of speech. Julie led a nuanced discus-
sion concerning the subtle line between censorship and benign authority with people’s best
interest at heart.

This program, which reinforced the heart of what we do at libraries, provided a valuable oppor-
tunity to intoduce this topic to young adults. At the Bedford Free Library we continue to uphold
the freedom to read and we try to ensure the availability of all viewpoints to those who wish to
read them. Come to the library anytime and pick up a banned book!
