Our Friends group honored Shirley Patchett at last week's meeting, naming her their first lifetime member. Devoting innumerable volunteer hours of service, Shirley has led various classes, has led the troops through several successful book sales and conceived and has chaired the Holiday Bake Sales and Valentine's Chocolate Sales. Through her popular "Shhhhh!" column in the Sun & Record, she shares her love of the library and keeps the community informed about our activities. Thanks from all of us, Shirley - the honor is well-deserved!

Books-Sandwiched-In
There are still a few seats available for next Tuesday's Books-Sandwiched-In. David Englert will be sharing two of his short stories with us. Call the Library at 483-9292 to reserve your spot. The monthly meeting of our Friends group will follow at 1:30 p.m.
NOTE: The luncheon and meeting will be in our new Annex, not the Library's meeting room. (Just one more reason to attend!)

Thanks To Our Friends!
We had a great time at our Friends Open House yesterday. Thanks to Friends President Lynn Griffith and her wonderful team for making the day such a success. I had planned on taking lots of pictures, but I was too busy showing off our "Annex!" I did take this one before we started.
We heard many library memories, and collected several suggestions; if you weren't able to attend, we'd still love to hear from you. Stop by the Library any time to share your thoughts. As the expansion project gets underway, we'll be hosting focus groups to gather more ideas and suggestions from Sodus residents. If you'd like to take part in these in-depth discussions, give me a call or leave a comment here.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

"May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire."

Classics Series Starts Thursday

Victor Harris will introduce each selection with a brief overview lecture of approximately thirty minutes before opening the floor to questions and comments. The sessions are scheduled at noon at two week intervals to allow everyone time to complete the reading and to allow for any adjustments in the event of inclement weather. The titles to be covered are
March 18 - The Illiad by Homer
April 1 - The Odyssey by Homer
April 15 - The Aeneid by Virgil
April 29 - Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
May 13 - Madame Bovary by Gustav Flaubert
No prior knowledge or background is assumed, though participants are encouraged to read the selections; however, it is not mandatory. Harris shares that in previous programs, some attendees have found that they enjoyed reading the books after attending his programs. Either way, we hope you will join us. All titles are available for OWWL holds (Harris prefers the verse editions over the prose translations for Homer and Virgil, and highly recommends the 2003 Edith Grossman translation of Don Quixote).
No registration is required for this free series. The only requirement is enthusiasm for learning about these time-honored works in the great Western literary tradition. I hope to see you there! (Snacks and lunches are allowed.)

New York's Libraries Are Essential
I believe that statement, and see the proof of it every day here at our library. If you feel the same way, please click on the "Essential" button in the right column, and let our elected officials know how you feel. They need to hear your library stories!
