The Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale was a big success. There was a great selection books, videos and audio tapes at bargain prices.

Thank you to the Friends and volunteers for their many hours of work; and, to the shoppers for supporting the event.

Ladybug Picture Book Nominees

Yesterday a committee of children's librarians from around New Hampshire announced the 10 nominees for the Ladybug Picture Book Award. Designed to promote early literacy and honor the best in recent children's picture books, preschoolers through third graders will vote in the fall for their favorite book. Look for these books in the Children's Room at the Conway Public Library.

What's so great about February?

In spite of the weather (as crazy as it can get here in New Hampshire) February has some great month long observances and holidays. February is American Heart Month, African American History Month, and Children's Dental Month. Special days in February include Groundhog Day, Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, President's Day, and this year is leap year with an extra day on February 29. Find out more about February by exploring some of these links.

I also like this link on the White House web site to biographies of the presidents.
