I have some personal favorites, most of which date back to my childhood.<br />

This past Tuesday night we had a Cookie Exchange program at the library. It was a lot of fun! If you have never been to one, here's how it works:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>each person chooses a cookie recipe and brings a few (or more) dozen of that cookie to the exchange party (depending on how many people are going)</li>
<li>at the party, all of the cookies are set out on a table, where everyone can go around and grab 1 of each cookie, to taste!</li>
<li>then, you'll often have a contest for best tasting or most unique cookie</li>
<li>sometimes the host will present fun baking facts or trivia</li>
<li>finally, everyone goes around and takes an equal amount of everyone else's cookies, along with a copy of the recipe-that's a lot of cookies!</li>
</ul>
<div>
So if you have never experienced one, why not plan one yourself? And it doesn't have to be at Christmastime-do one in July! Here are some helpful websites if you ever decide to tackle one yourself:</div>

One of the (many) benefits of working in a library is getting to see which books have or are yet to come out that I want to read. Though my list is much much longer than this, here are just a few that are on my radar...and if I don't get to them this Fall, there's always Winter!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Against the wilds of sea and wood, a young immigrant woman settles into life outside Duluth in the 1890s, still shocked at finding herself alone in a new country, abandoned and adrift; in the early 1920s, her orphan son, now grown, falls in love with the one woman he shouldn’t and uses his best skills to build them their own small ark to escape. But their pasts travel with them, threatening to capsize even their fragile hope. In this triumphant new novel, Peter Geye has crafted another deeply moving tale of a misbegotten family shaped by the rough landscape in which they live--often at the mercy of wildlife and weather--and by the rough edges of their own breaking hearts."

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Just when we thought we knew everything there was to know about Tuscany, along comes Beth Elon-cookbook writer and 30 year resident of a small village at the foot of the Appenines-who takes us along the back roads and through the ancient hill towns to remote restaurants that are for the most part overlooked by tourists and known only to the locals. At each restaurant the cooks share their highly personal recipes for regional dishes made with local ingredients. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">With this guide in hand, you'll not only know where to dine, but what to order when you get there. Each regional section begins with illuminating and absorbing explanations of what makes Tuscan cooking so unique: location, location, location. You'll read about a bean so beloved by a village that it's been elevated to cult status-but that is totally unheard of a few kilometers down the road; the specialty of the Zeri Valley, a milk-fed aboriginal baby lamb, that is almost unknown elsewhere in Italy; the endless array of vegetable tarts found only in Lunigiana and Garfagnana.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> (from Random House)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">October is <a href="http://www.nationalreadinggroupmonth.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">National Reading Group Month</span></a>, a time for people to salute the reading groups they belong to, or to join one! National Reading Group Month, or NRGM, was launched in October 2007 by sisters Martha Burns and Alice Dillon, members of the Women's National Book Association (WNBA). Their <a href="http://www.nationalreadinggroupmonth.org/about_history.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">mission</span></a>:</span><br />

<br />
<ul style="line-height: 18px;">
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Increase public awareness of the joy and value of shared reading</span></span></li>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">If you want to instead start your own book group, perhaps one that meets in your home or at a neighbor's house, there are plenty of helpful websites out there that not only recommend titles, but guide you in leading your discussions. <a href="http://www.readinggroupguides.com/content/index.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Reading Group Guides</span></a> has tips on <a href="http://www.readinggroupguides.com/roundtable/start.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">starting</span></a> and running a group, and tons of reading group guides that you can search or browse for by author or title, or even <a href="http://www.readinggroupguides.com/findaguide/most_requested.asp?yr=2012" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">most requested</span></a> (if you just want to see what is popular amongst other groups). These guides include a summary of the book, reviews, author bios, and most importantly, discussion questions. <a href="http://www.readinggroupchoices.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Reading Group Choices</span></a> is similar in that it provides guides for books with questions, author bio, summary and reviews. It's also a great places to go for titles that you might not see elsewhere - they have a nice combination of bestsellers and some lesser known books. Another great feature of this website is that it includes ideas for pairing <a href="http://www.readinggroupchoices.com/musicbythebook/archives/archives_mbb.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">music</span></a> and <a href="http://www.readinggroupchoices.com/winebythebook/index.cfm?id=1084" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">wine</span></a> with your book discussions! Lastly, I would recommend <a href="http://www.litlovers.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">LitLovers</span></a>. It features hundreds of guides with questions, bios and reviews, as well as book club <a href="http://www.litlovers.com/run-a-book-club" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">tips and ideas</span></a>. My favorite section of the site is their <a href="http://www.litlovers.com/book-club-recipes" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">recipe collection</span></a> - food and book groups make a great match.</span></span></div>

Growing up, I used to watch my mom bake and decorate wedding and birthday cakes on a weekly basis. She ran her own cake baking business out of the home, so in addition to constantly coming home to the sweet scent of cake (mmmm!!), I remember our kitchen being full of flours, food colorings, icing tips, and a fantastic selection of books filled with recipes and cake decorating tips. She has tried to pass along some of her wisdom to me...but whatever doesn't stick, I can hopefully pick up in our library's selection of cake decorating and cookbooks.<br />

This week, September 30th through October 6th, libraries and bookstores across the country will celebrate Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 as a response to the mass number of challenges to books in schools and libraries. Books are still challenged, banned, and removed from shelves today - <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://bannedbooksweek.org/about" target="_blank">here</a></span> is a list of the most challenged titles from 2011. Check out this <a href="http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/frequentlychallenged/21stcenturychallenged" target="_blank">page</a> with top ten lists from several years, and a list of banned and challenged <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/frequentlychallenged/challengedclassics/reasonsbanned" target="_blank">classics</a></span>.<br />
<br />
During this week librarians take the time to, through book displays and information, remind people of the freedom to read what they want - and to allow others to do the same.<br />

I always loved reading his poems and books - <i>A Light in the Attic</i> and <i>Runny Babbit</i> being two of my favorites - and still do!! <i>Bear in There</i>, his poem all about a polar bear who likes to spend lots of time in the refrigerator, always makes me smile. :D<br />

I am still working on that perfect crust, but these cookbooks all about making pies and other fruit desserts will surely help me master the art.

This petite book has recipes and instructions for simple crumb and no-fuss free-form crusts, which is a win in my book! Following that are recipes for both single and double-crust pies, along with recipes for tarts and turnovers. And the book features beautiful color photos-yum!<br />

If you've ever wanted a recipe for something other than just your basic pie crust, then look no further! This cookbook features recipes for Cornmeal Pie Dough, Sour Cream Pie Dough, Vanilla Wafer Crust, Gingersnap Crust, and more! And have you ever wondered what sorts of pies are made in the Northeast, South, Midwest, and Western portions of the US? If you have, you'll love how recipes are broken down geographically.</div>

Staff members from our library will be in a couple different spots in town in the next week to promote library cards, so get ready!! Tonight (September 7th) at dusk, weather permitting, Brownsburg Parks and Recreation will be showing The Lorax out on the front lawn of Brownsburg Town Hall. You will see our table set up, where people can <b>enter a drawing for a $10 gift card from Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt</b>, and also sign-up for a library card (that is not required to enter the drawing). The drawing will take place after the movie but you do not need to be present to win.<br />
<br />
On Friday September 14th, our staff will be present at the Brownsburg High School football game against Avon. We’ll have a <b>drawing for a Brownsburg Athletics sweatshirt (Large) and a $10 gift card from Orange Leaf</b>—two separate winners. Winners will be announced at the end of the third quarter, but you do not need to be present to win. Once again people can sign-up for a library card at the table.<br />
<br />
In the column to your right, you'll find a slidehow featuring 60 ways to use your library card. Enjoy, and as always, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions at (317) 852-3167 or askus@brownsburg.lib.in.us.<br />

Believe it or not, I have actually gotten better about keeping things organized. My <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/807431-patti-kovach" target="_blank">Goodreads</a> account has really helped me do that. If you are not familiar with it, Goodreads is a social cataloging website that you can use to keep track of what you have read, what you are currently reading, and what you would like to read in the future. You can use it to group your books by genre, rate and review them, and to connect with others who have read similar books. It is sort of like Facebook for book lovers!!<br />
<br />
Below are just a few of the books that are on my to-read list. What are you looking forward to reading next?? Comment below!<br />

Did you know that you can still plant certain vegetables in late summer and even into September? While I am no gardening expert myself, I have come to learn, with the help of a very knowledgeable mother, that swiss chard, green onions, peas, radishes, and more can survive the frost and some lower temperatures. The key is knowing both how long crops take to mature, as well as the average <a href="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ind/?n=frostfreezedate" style="color: red;" target="_blank">first killing frost</a> in your area.

Nothing beats the taste of vegetables from a home garden, and with Vegetable Gardening it's never been easier. With over 80 varieties of vegetables to choose from, eating delicious, just-picked produce is a snap. Learn every step of creating and maintaining a cornucopia of garden-fresh vegetables: from choosing and planning your plot, preparing the soil, selecting seeds or cultivating seedlings, proper watering, harvesting, and storing. From composting and mulching to caring for and harvesting vegetables, it's clear that most gardeners want to use organic methods and avoid chemical fertilizers and pesticides. But what happens when things go wrong and organic solutions don't seem to be working? The two authors of this book have different answers to this question. Jane Courtier takes the view that organic methods are the "first, best choice," but she occasionally uses chemical fertilizer and will resort to chemical pesticides if a serious problem arises. Fern Marshall Bradley writes from the viewpoint of a longtime organic gardener who's chosen to never use any chemicals in her garden. Together they've created a book that looks at vegetable gardening from both points of view. There are substantive issues on both sides-and in the end, it's an individual choice. Let them help you make up your own mind! <a href="http://catalog.brownsburg.lib.in.us/POLARIS/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=3.1033.0.0.2&type=Keyword&term=vegetable%20gardening%20from%20planning%20to%20picking&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Request this item </span></a></div>

It is still an activity that I try to sneak in on a weekend here and there, and one that can likely be done into the Fall season, with as warm as it's been. So far I've only been to Turkey Run, Mounds State Park, Brown County, and Clifty Falls...so I have a lot yet to explore!<br />
<br />
If you're looking for a good location to take your family or friends camping, check out the <a href="http://indianastateparks.reserveamerica.com/" style="color: #cc0000;" target="_blank">Indiana State Parks</a> site, where you can search depending on what type of camping you're interested in. Tent? RV? Cabin? And you can limit it to locations near Brownsburg or whichever city you are wanting to camp near. You can also find camping and state park info at the <a href="http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/5060.htm" style="color: #cc0000;" target="_blank">Indiana Department of Natural Resources</a> site, such as park entrance <a href="http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/5062.htm" style="color: #cc0000;" target="_blank">fees</a>, and even <a href="http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/5052.htm" style="color: #cc0000;" target="_blank">camping etiquette</a>!<br />

There is a movement upon us and it's full of parents who refuse to let
their children become a statistic of childhood obesity, and who
understand the fate of the environment rests with connecting their kids
with the outdoors. Outdoors Parents, Outdoor Kids shines a much needed
headlamp on helping parents accomplish this and more. With an
informative and entertaining look at biking, camping, swimming,
paddling, snowsports, hiking, fishing, climbing and more, award-winning
author Eugene Buchanan extends parents a helping hand in getting their
kids outside and instilling in them a respect for their health and the
environment. It's a set of training wheels for first-time parents and an
essential guide for hair-pulling veterans. <a href="http://catalog.brownsburg.lib.in.us/POLARIS/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=3.1033.0.0.2&type=Keyword&term=outdoor%20parents,%20outdoor%20kids&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0" style="color: #cc0000;" target="_blank">Request this item</a><br />

"Do you know what it took for Socrates' enemies to make him stop
pursuing the truth?" "Hemlock." Storied, fiercely competitive Mariana
Academy was founded with a serious honor code; its reputation has been
unsullied for decades. Now a long-dormant secret society, Prisom's
Party, threatens its placid halls with vigilante justice, exposing
students and teachers alike for even the most minor infraction. Iris
Dupont, a budding journalist whose only confidant is the chain-smoking
specter of Edward R. Murrow, feels sure she can break into the ranks of
The Devil's Advocate , the Party's underground newspaper, and there
uncover the source of its blackmail schemes and vilifying rumors. Some
involve the school's new science teacher, who also seems to be
investigating the Party. Others point to an albino student who left
school abruptly ten years before, never to return. And everything
connects to a rare book called Marvelous Species . But the truth comes
with its own dangers, and Iris is torn between her allegiances, her
reporter's instinct, and her own troubled past. The Year of the Gadfly
is an exhilarating journey of double-crosses, deeply buried secrets, and
the lifelong reverberations of losing someone you love. Following in
the tradition of classic school novels such as A Separate Peace , Prep ,
and The Secret History , it reminds us how these years haunt our lives
forever. <a href="http://catalog.brownsburg.lib.in.us/POLARIS/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=3.1033.0.0.2&type=Keyword&term=the%20year%20of%20the%20gadfly&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0" target="_blank">Request this item</a><br />

A warm June evening, a local tradition: the students of Nantucket
High have gathered for a bonfire on the beach. But what begins as a
graduation night celebration ends in tragedy after a horrible car crash
leaves the driver of the car, Penny Alistair, dead, and her twin brother
in a coma. The other passengers, Penny's boyfriend Jake and her friend
Demeter, are physically unhurt - but the emotional damage is
overwhelming, and questions linger about what happened before Penny took
the wheel. As summer unfolds, startling truths are revealed about the
survivors and their parents - secrets kept, promises broken, hearts
betrayed. Elin Hilderbrand explores the power of community, family, and
honesty, and proves that even from the ashes of sorrow, new love can
still take flight. <a href="http://catalog.brownsburg.lib.in.us/POLARIS/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=3.1033.0.0.2&type=Keyword&term=summerland%20elin%20hilderbrand&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0" target="_blank">Request this item</a><br />

Set in a four-hundred-year-old boys' boarding school in London, a
chilling gothic thriller by the author of the critically acclaimed A
Good and Happy Child . . . A fierce and jealous ghost . . . A young
man's fight for his life . . . The Harrow School is home to privileged
adolescents known as much for their distinctive dress and traditions as
for their arrogance and schoolboy cruelty. Seventeen-year-old American
Andrew Taylor is enrolled in the esteemed British institution by his
father, who hopes that the school's discipline will put some distance
between his son and his troubled past in the States. But trouble
danger seem to follow Andrew. When one of his schoolmates and friends
dies mysteriously of a severe pulmonary illness, Andrew is blamed and is
soon an outcast, spurned by nearly all his peers. And there is the
pale, strange boy who begins to visit him at night. Either Andrew is
losing his mind, or the house legend about his dormitory being haunted
is true. When the school's poet-in-residence, Piers Fawkes, is
commissioned to write a play about Byron, one of Harrow's most famous
alumni, he casts Andrew in the title role. Andrew begins to discover
uncanny links between himself and the renowned poet. In his loneliness
and isolation, Andrew becomes obsessed with Lord Byron's story and the
poet's status not only as a literary genius and infamous seducer but as a
student at the very different Harrow of two centuries prior'a place
rife with violence, squalor, incurable diseases, and tormented love
affairs. When frightening and tragic events from that long-ago past
start to recur in Harrow's present, and when the dark and deadly specter
by whom Andrew's been haunted seems to be all too real, Andrew is
forced to solve a two-hundred-year-old literary mystery that threatens
the lives of his friends and his teachers'and, most terrifyingly, his
own. <a href="http://catalog.brownsburg.lib.in.us/POLARIS/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=3.1033.0.0.2&type=Keyword&term=the%20white%20devil%20a%20novel%20justin%20evans&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0" target="_blank">Request this item</a><a href="http://catalog.brownsburg.lib.in.us/POLARIS/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=3.1033.0.0.2&type=Keyword&term=the%20white%20devil%20a%20novel%20justin%20evans&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0" target="_blank"><br /></a>Welcome!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03137063656928697631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837592613536034625.post-75922240403304248212012-07-27T08:28:00.000-07:002012-07-27T08:28:10.903-07:00Downton Abbey ReadalikesHave you heard about <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/index.html" target="_blank">Downton Abbey</a>?

For those of you who are not familiar with our Adult Summer Reading Program, here's how it works:<br />
1. Register for the Summer Reading Program, either a the Kickoff on June 1st or here at the library anytime thereafter.<br />
2. Pick up a Goal Sheet either at the Kickoff or at the library (these can be picked up anytime during the Summer Reading Program, which starts June 1st and ends July 27th).<br />
3. Set yourself weekly reading and library activity related goals. These can be anything you want (examples are provided on the back of the goal sheet). So, maybe your goal will be to read 360 minutes that week? And to try a new author? And to attend a library program?<br />
4. Once you've met those weekly goals, come on in to the library and get a raffle ticket for each goal you meet. That means, the more goals you set and meet, the more raffle tickets you get! These raffle tickets will enter you to win a prize or prizes of your choosing. And what's up for grabs?<br />
<br />

Do you enjoy the thrill of of the hunt? The sharp squeal that escapes your throat when you've finally found that gold giraffe brooch? That set of 1960's children's science books? That 1981 Schwinn World Sport? Well, then you are just as excited as I am!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are many reasons we each have for spending hours on a Saturday morning driving around town, sifting through other people's trash for our next treasure. No matter your reason, there are ways you can find out right where to go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the first places I go is the local newspaper. If you are interested strictly in Hendricks County garage and rummage sales, visit <a href="http://flyergroup.com/classifieds?view=listings&cat=Merchandise&sub=Garage%20Sale" style="color: #6aa84f;" target="_blank">The Flyer Classifieds</a>. If you want to venture into Marion County, check out the <a href="http://www2.indystar.com/webcat/classified/classlist?category=Garage+Sales" style="color: #6aa84f;" target="_blank">Indy Star Classifieds</a>.<a href="http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/" style="color: #6aa84f;" target="_blank"> Craigslist</a> is another place to search for yard sales. If you're more interested in estate sales or auctions, <a href="http://estatesales.net/" style="color: #6aa84f;">Estatesales.net</a> is your starting point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And if you're interested in books, our collection features a variety of antique and price guides. We also have an online resource called <a href="http://www.p4aantiquesreference.com/library/brownsburg.asp" target="_blank">Antiques Reference</a>, where you can search for antiques and collectibles, and even find out their recent auction history.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The above website are by no means the only resources for finding garage and estate sales. And of course, there's always my favorite method...just driving around aimlessly! Do you know anywhere else we can look? Comment below!</div>

Did you know that May 7-13th is <a href="http://www.bookweekonline.com/" target="_blank">Children's Book Week</a>? Established in 1919, it is the longest-running literacy initiative in the country, and gives us a chance to celebrate and promote reading and books for youth. There are many ways you can mark this momentous week, such as reading with or to your <a href="http://www.bookweekonline.com/for-kids" target="_blank">children</a>, encouraging your <a href="http://www.bookweekonline.com/for-teens" target="_blank">teenagers</a> to read, and visiting your local library for books and inspiration. And what might you find at Brownsburg Public Library? I'm so glad you asked!<br />

In our Children's Department, we have a Pin the Title on the Donkey wall display, located just to the right of Character Corner (if you're not sure where this is, ask a staff member for directions). If your child pins the cover of 1of 5 books we've selected on the Donkey, they have a chance to <span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">win that book, along with a $5 Library Shop gift certificate</span></b></span>! There will be 1 lucky winner, and we'll be taking entries through Saturday May 12th. In addition to this, we also have <b style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">special coloring and activity sheets</span> </b>(located on the wooden table where the coloring sheets normally live), and <b style="color: #6aa84f;">bookmarks</b> by the Children's Department Express Checks. <br />
<br />
By the Customer Services Desk, you will find 2 glass displays - 1 featuring a selection of Children's picture books and fiction, and 1 holding a variety of Young Adult titles...many of which have Adult appeal! Thank you so much for supporting this wonderful literacy initiative, and we cannot wait to see you in the library this week!

Although I love to read through a good cookbook, I also enjoy reading what people have to say regarding how their lives have been affected by food - whether it's as a chef, food critic, traveler, or just a person who really loves to eat! If you like a book that makes you hungry for interesting dishes, and even some traveling, then check out one of these titles by a number of food writers. If you have any questions, give us a call at (317) 852-3167 option 2, or e-mail us at askus@brownsburg.lib.in.us.<br />
