Downtown Abbey Returns to PBS

PBS will begin Season 3 of Downtown Abbey [8] on January 6, 2013.  You can place holds [9]on the Library's copies of the first two seasons, or watch Season 2 beginning December 2, 2012 on PBS.  There will be one new character to watch out for, Shirley MacLaine, as Martha Levinson, Lady Cora's mother.  It is certain that Lady Violet (Maggie Smith) and Martha Levinson will have their differences this season.  Get your popcorn ready for the new season!

Henri Matisse's Birthday!

Celebrate Henri Matisse's [10] birthday on December 31.  Born in 1869, Henri was known most for his paintings.  However, he also designed textiles, cut outs and stained-glass windows.  The world gained a renouned artist instead of an attorney, quite by chance when, as Henri, while recouperating from an illness, began painting and drawing.  The Library has an outstanding collection of resources [11] on Henri.
