From Bernie: Took Lucy home with me for the holidays to spare her the loneliness of the library. She was quiet on the ride. Got home, hissed at all my cats and hid by the dryer. I dragged her out, kicking and screaming. She’s now camping under my bed. I tried to comfort her but she charged at me hissing, growling & claws out. Her litter pan and food close by. It’s only the 1st night. It will get better.
Today will be Barb’s last day working at the Pember. Stop in and wish her well on her second retirement! She plans to travel some and relax and, of course, read. She will still be teaching the ‘Computers for Seniors’ classes and I’m sure she’ll stop in once in a while to replenish her supply of books. Best wishes to you Barb.

A collection container, clearly marked and accessible during normal operating hours, will be placed at …
Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts will be discussed by the book club. A review from School Library Journal says: Adult/High School–Focusing mainly on the wives, daughters, sisters, and mothers of the Founding Fathers, this lively and engaging title chronicles the adventures and contributions of numerous women of the era between 1740 and 1797.
