Branch Manager’s Message

Director’s MessageTo Our Valued CustomersI hope you were all able to join us at the Food Truck Festival on Friday, September 16. The weather was beautiful and the food was deli-cious. Due to the phenomenal turnout of 5500 people, the lines were long, but people passed the time by making new friends and listening to the great music. Thanks to your feedback, we have some great ideas as to how to make this event even more successful next year.

Congratulations to Chris Krakora, Library Page in the Circulation Department, for 25 years of ded-icated service to the library. Chris was honored at an awards ceremony held in the County Commissioner’s Board Room on September 20. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and staff of the Chester County Library, I thank Chris on his commitment to provide excellent customer service to our patrons.

Fall is a busy time at the library. Story times have begun again for preschool-ers. Check the online calendar for days and times. Children hear stories, clap, and par-ticipate in sessions that help them prepare for school, both academically and socially.

Programming for adults has also ramped up. In October we have an autumn wreath craft event, pilates classes, free flu shots, and a murder mystery event, to name a few! Again, details can be found on the cal-endar: www.chescolibraries.org/events .

Please save the date for our Holiday Craft Fair which will be held on Saturday, December 10. In addition to many gift ideas, this year’s fair will include holiday music and programs to make the day even more festive.

The Chester County and Henrietta Hankin Branch Libraries will be closed on Monday, October 10 for Columbus Day. On this day, many of the staff of the 18 member libraries in the Chester County Library System will be gathering for an in-service day for training on customer service and community engagement.Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

We’re excited once again to host an Artisan Show on November 5th from 9:30 am till 2:00 pm. Local crafters, artisans, and writers will display their items. You can start think-ing about holiday gift giving! If you’d like to participate as an artisan, information can be found at www.tinyurl.com/HHArtisan2016.

Book CornerTwo of my favorite Urban Fantasy series have new books this fall: Once Broken Faith by Seanan McGuire (October Daye) and Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews (Kate Daniels). Urban Fantasy books are stories with contemporary city settings incorporating magic; sometimes the magic is integrated into society, some-times it is found in a parallel, often hidden from humans, world. One of my favorite parts of Urban Fantasy is the creative world-building of these magical schemes.

In the October Daye series, the hidden world is Faerie: October is a changeling, part human, part fey, who works as a private investigator and tries to reconcile the two parts of her heritage. As the series has progressed, she has become more entangled in the politics of Faerie while trying to keep her humanity intact. The first book in the series is Rosemary and Rue.

The Kate Daniels books take place in a future Atlanta torn apart by magic. Magic comes in waves, and when the magic is up, the shape shifters, vampires, witches, and other strange magical creatures come out and modern tech-nology goes away. Kate, a mercenary, is hired to clean up the messes left behind when the magic goes away. She soon finds herself making connections with the local pack of shape shift-

ers and faces the truth of her own heritage. The first book in the series is Magic Bites.

Here are some other Urban Fantasy titles to try: Child of Fire by Harry Connolly (magic; male protagonist); Kitty and the Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn (supernatural beings; female pro-tagonist); Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines (magic; male protagonist); Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris (supernatural beings; various protagonists); Moon Called by Patricia Briggs (supernatural beings; female protagonist); and Storm Front by Jim Butcher (magic; male pro-tagonist). There are also many anthologies which are great for sampling different settings. Here are a few: Naked City: Tales of Urban Fantasy edited by Ellen Datlow; Games Creatures Play edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni L.P. Kelner; and Apple for the Creature edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni L.P. Kelner.

I’m pleased to announce that October’s LibraryReads list has an annotation by Chester County Library’s own Kathryn Hassert. Kathryn works in our Technical Services Department and her pick is for The Trespasser by Tana French. Here is her annotation:

You can see the rest of the list below and can always find all the LibraryReads selections at libraryreads.org.

Happy Reading! -Jenna Persick, Technical Services Manager

12”Perfectly Frank” A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra. Come fly

Sinatra was, of course, more than a singer -he was an actor, recording artist, cabaret and con-cert star, radio and television personality, and, on occasion, producer, director, and conductor. “Perfectly Frank” celebrates the man and his music as well as the great com-posers, lyricists, and musical arrangers who put their indelible stamp on an incredible period in American musical history.

01Vincent van Gogh: From Abject Failure to Superstar. Vincent Van

Gogh’s life is art history’s most compelling story. He failed at just about everything he attempted during his short life. Yet, posthu-mously, he would become the wonder of the world. He became the prototype for the mis-understood, tormented artist who sold just one painting in his lifetime. His is the story of a mad genius who made us see the world in a new way. Van Gogh was also a letter writer of heart-piercing eloquence. Hear how he chronicled with heartbreaking urgency his mental condition and how he came to under-stand his art was the exclusive reason for his existence. See how his hallucinatory visions were so bright they nearly blinded us and how his art became more and more excit-ing and emotional and, in the process, more endearing and universally irresistible. Fred Dixon and his wife Martha began collecting art too many years ago to remember. Their home in Chadds Ford has become a mini-museum with 130 paintings and sculpture pieces. They have traveled to major muse-ums in the U.S. and Europe and to the great cathedrals in Italy to view Renaissance and Baroque art. There were two years of study at the Barnes Foundation followed by a docent training course. All this culminated in the publication of Fred’s book “700 Years of Art History: Pre-Renaissance to Modernism.” Time: 6:30 p.m. Location: Chester County Library.

05Artisan Show. Join us and do some shopping for the holidays!

Local artisans will be selling their handmade items. Stop in and see what great artisans we have in our area. If you would like to partici-pate as an artisan, you can find more infor-mation at www.tinyurl.com/HHArtisan2016.Time: 9:30 a.m. Location: Henrietta Hankin Branch Library.

You will also have an opportunity to ask questions of the grantmakers and to briefly learn about free grantseeking resources at the Chester County Library. Time: 9:00 a.m. Location: Chester County Library.

15Meet the Author: John F. Dobbyn “Fatal Odds”. Meet local author

John F. Dobbyn, writer of “Deadly Diamonds” (2013), “Black Diamonds” (2011), “Frame-up” (2009), and “Neon Dragon” (2007). John will be introducing his latest novel, “Fatal Odds,” published by Oceanview Publications. “Fatal Odds” explores the second most widespread and profitable criminal activity of nearly every international crime syndicate and terrorist organization--the illegal capture, smuggling and trading in endangered spe-cies. It has become a sixty-billion dollar ille-gal enterprise and has resulted in the extinc-tion of hundreds of wild animals, with many more on the verge of extinction. “Fatal Odds” will be available for purchase and John will be happy to sign your copy. Time: 7:00 p.m. Location: Chester County Library.

20Meet the Raptors: Hunters of the Sky. Meet live avian predators

These raptors are permanent residents of Indian Run Environmental Education Center due to handicaps from injuries sustained in the wild. Now they serve as ambassadors to their species to educate the humans that share their world. Time: 1:30 p.m. Location: Chester County Library.

30Wisdom, Wealth, & Wellness: Women & Investing. Women are

BUILD IT! Constructive Play Programs

Random Fandom Art Contest at the Chester County Library

Beginning on November 1st, constructive play programs, for children age 3 ½ to 6 years and a parent/caregiver, will return to the Chester County Library. Build It! will feature high-qual-ity wooden blocks provided by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries through the Cruise into Kindergarten program grant. Blocks offer children an almost infinite variety of opportu-nities to express themselves, from construct-ing simple designs to feats of engineering.

Block building is no idle pastime. In fact, research shows that block play helps children develop social-emotional skills (cooperation, self-confi-dence, initiative) and physical development skills (eye-hand coordination, hand manipulation). In addition, block play helps preschool children to learn about mathematics (shape, classifica-tion, order, size, space); social studies (people and their work, when played with in conjunc-tion with figures and props); science (gravity, weight, balance, trial and error); language arts (exchange of ideas, naming of buildings, stories about building); and art (patterns, symmetry).

Children move through stages in their block play. For example, very young children will usually carry them from place to place and become acquainted with these building tools. Once a child turns 3 ½, the real construction begins. Children think critically and creatively in their building with blocks. They may try to see how high a stack of blocks can go or to fit a block in a specific place to compensate. They may lay blocks side by side to make a road or use problem-solving skills when trying to place uprights the correct distance apart to accom-modate a ‘bridge’ block.

The Youth Services Department of the Chester County Library has scheduled Build It! pro-grams for children from 3 ½ to 6 year s and their parents/caregivers on the following days:

• Tuesday, November 1 – 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. • Friday, November 11 – 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. • Monday, November 14 – 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. • Wednesday, November 30 – 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. • Friday, December 9 – 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.

• Thursday, December 15 – 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. • Tuesday, December 20 – 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.

No registration is required but space is limited. Sessions will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

All of the Block Party and Wee Build pro-grams will be held in the Storytime Room at the Chester County Library, 450 Exton Square Parkway, Exton PA 19341. Please call 610-280-2630 for additional information.
