Brave...

For all of you Pixar fans out there, check out the trailer for Brave.  The film is scheduled to hit theatres on June 22nd.  I am most excited that  Brave will feature a female character as the lead...a first for Pixar! 

If you haven't seen all of the movies made by Pixar, you can check them out here! 

Magazines Galore...

I just wanted to let you guys and gals know that we have a really cool magazine selection at the library.  What I find especially neat is that you are allowed to check out the back issues of your favorite titles!  I often like to check out Nintendo Power and catch up on the latest gaming news.  Whether you like to read National Geographic Kids, American Girl, or Sports Illustrated, (amongst many others) we've got you covered!  Swing by and browse the collection!

2012 Tulip Festival

Good news friends!  The 12th Annual Huntington Tulip Festival is taking place May 6th from 11AM-4PM at Heckscher State Park. The Youth and Parent Services department will be there...if you find us to say hello, we'll have a fun craft for you to do!  Early weather forecasts are looking good, so please come visit our booth for some fun in the sun! 

April is Poetry Month...

April is for rhyming,
And haiku and limericks too.
So come down to the library,
And check out a poetry book or two.

Congratulations to llama llama red pajama, winner of the Youth and Parent Services annual "budget vote." In related news, the actual operating budget had passed. Thank you to all of our wonderful patrons for making our jobs here so enjoyable. We look forward to more happy reading and good times!

I didn't expect to be writing about plants and flowers so soon, but it sure does feel like gardening weather today! Besides, its never too early to start thinking about your spring garden...

Maybe you're not quite ready to dig in the soil. Or maybe you need some inspiration! Check out some picture books about the topic. Or, to plan your garden, check out some books that will help you along the way.

Either way, it's good to have a plan of action, or this could happen to you! Enjoy the sunshine!

St.Patrick's Day...

You have probably noticed the St.Patrick's day parades taking place in Huntington, and elsewhere. Officially, St.Patrick's Day is Saturday, March 17th. However, we can start celebrating whenever we please. I'm looking at you, green-frosted cupcakes!

Feel free to visit the library and check out some stories about the holiday, or read some books about the history of the holiday.

If you are feeling particularly curious about Ireland and its history, we have books about that, as well! We hope you are enjoying this early Spring weather and look forward to seeing you soon!
