The Wild Librarian

"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians." --Gorilla Librarian sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus TV Show, Episode 10

Book of the Week: Blackbird House By Alice Hoffman

The author writes about the life of an old farm house on Cape Cod. She takes you through time as you step into the lives of the people who lived in Blackbird House. She begins her tale through time with the American Revolution, there you meet the first family to live in the house. As times passes on you become part of the house watching as the ownership passes one family to the next. The residents of Blackbird House experience joy, depression and death, but they find the power of love and comfort. The house's haunting presence throughout the book leaves you wanting to read more. I couldn't put his one down. Highly recommend reading this book if you enjoy a great story and a little bit of history.
