Commencement 2009

Library Board President Carol Sergeant and I attended Sodus' commencement ceremonies this morning.

We're very pleased to have our library recognized in such a special way.

Congratulations to all in the class of 2009! We're very proud of all of you and wish you much happiness and success in your lives beyond high school.

Next Book Club Pick

On Thursday, our book club had a fun discussion about the essence of boyhood portrayed by Tony Earley in his Jim the Boy. We've decided that we will skip July and August and meet again at noon on September 24th, when we'll be discussing Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. You'll have plenty of time to read or listen to the book over the Summer; one of our members said the audiobook was especially well done. We hope you will join us in September!

Book Club Meets Thursday

Plan to join us for a great discussion this Thursday, June 25th, at noon. Bring your lunch, share your thoughts on Tony Earley's Jim the Boy, and help us choose the next title we'll be reading.

We are planning to continue meeting throughout the Summer. I hope you can join us!
