New Moon now in theaters

So, New Moon is now out in the theaters.  I went last night to the advance opening with my daughter.  She was super-excited to see the movie, well, to see Jacob.  I have to say that it was much better than Twilight but I still stand firm that the books are so much better than the movies.  What do you think???

James Heneghan at the Library

This morning we were treated to a delightful presentation by James Heneghan.  James has written several YA books (over 20!) and came to the library to speak about 2 of his books as well as his writing process.  We had 2 schools come to the library to hear his presentation - UTT and Merton Elementary.  All the students were amazing and had great questions for James.  Thanks to James to coming to our library.  View a clip of his presentation :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbkYNszRl60
