Celebrate Luciano Pavarotti's Birthday!

Luciano Pavarotti would have turned age 77 on October 12!  You can still celebrate his life and his music by checking out some great classics [10]from the Library.  Pavarotti was the most popular tenor of his time.   He was known for his perfect tone, especially his higher ranges.  Widely considered to be the best bel canto singer of the 20th century, he died in Modena, Italy September 6, 2007.

Grandkids coming to visit?

 If your grandchildren are going to be visiting soon, why not ask them to bring the XBox 360 [11], WII [12] or Playstation [13] along with with them?  The Library has an exceptional collection of child [14] and adult [15] games to borrow, and all are free!  According to a 2009 article in The Herald  [16] , video games "are being held up as the catalyst for family bonding and a more healthy lifestyle."  This might be the time to break out and experience something new!  Let your grandkids show you the way!
