The year’s celebrations will include an exclusive event by Royal Mail who are releasing a set of stamps in her honor. 34 novels, 1 play and over 50 short stories later, Poirot re- mains one of the most famous fictional detectives of all time. Looking back, at some of the well-known stories, we can see how this celebrated Bel- gian with, what some describe as an egg shaped head and a thirst for precision came into existence. You will find sever- al Hercule Poirot mysteries on your local Library Location’s shelves, including “Five Lile Pigs”, “The Perils of Poirot” and “Murder on the Orient Express”, just to name a few. There are exciting things in the works for those readers who have enjoyed and con- tinue to love Author Gertrude Chandler Warner’s “Boxcar Children”. The people, plac- es, adventures and mysteries may change, but Henry, Jes- sie, Violet and Benny are al- ways willing to do what they can to help. They have shown us that making a difference in the world can be as simple as taking the time to understand others and working through challenges together. The look of The Boxcar Children brand has been refreshed to intro- duce the series to new read- ers, and an updated website has been launched to allow all readers to get to know the Al- den siblings and explore their many adventures. Check out the site, as new books , mov- ies, and more fun items will be appearing soon. Presently, there are snippets of the latest novels, plus printable activ- ity pages you can download and much more. Here is the site: www.boxcarchildren. com Don’t forget, you can find some of the well-loved titles, such as “The Yellow House Mystery”, “The Mystery at the Dog Show”, “The Box That Watch Found”, plus others waiting for you on the shelves of your local Library Branch. Last, but certainly not least, Authors Margret and H.A. Rey’s “Curious George” is STILL curious after 75 years (1941-2016). Remember the quote, “ This is George. He lived in Africa. He was a good lile monkey, and always very curious.” The tales of this cheerful and resilient lile hero have kept generations of readers enthralled and en- tertained. The Susquehanna County Library Branches have such “Curious George” titles as “Curious George Goes to a Chocolate Factory” and, of course, “The Complete Ad- ventures of Curious George”, which contains the six origi- nal titles. Within the 75 years, “Curious George” adventures have been translated into twelve languages. The Annual Author Lun- cheon is scheduled for Fri- day, September 16th. If you have not aended one of these luncheons, you’re missing a wonderful time featuring an award-winning Author and their works, scrumptious food, plus lots of fun and friend- ship among Bibliophiles. This event is generously sponsored by the “Novel Woman Book Club” and the proceeds benefit the Forest City Library Branch. Author Natalie Harne has been selected as the Guest Speaker and her novel, “Hol- low Ground” will be featured. “Hollow Ground” is long list- ed for the “2016 International Dublin Literary Award”, as well as being a “John Gardner Fiction Book Award” winner and receiving the Appala- chian Book of the Year Award, among many other accolades. “Hollow Ground” is set in Carbondale, Pa. in the early 1960’s and is a coming-of-age novel, a murder mystery, a family saga, and the American tragedy of an environmentally and economically devastated region. Inspired by real-life events, underground mine fires ravaging a Pennsylvania coal town lead eleven-year- old Brigid Howley (who has been compared to “Scout Finch” from “To Kill A Mock- ingbird”) to make a grisly dis- covery in a long-abandoned bootleg mine shaft. Old se- crets arise and threaten to prove just as dangerous to the Howleys as the burning, hol- low ground beneath their feet. You won’t want to miss this golden opportunity to expand your Library, as well as your knowledge of our area. The 2016 “Susquehanna County Reads” book selection will be “Orphan Train” by Christina Baker Kline. Regis- tration for this event will be- gin on September 19th at any Susquehanna County Library Location. More details will be forthcoming within this col- umn. Congratulations to Berna- dee Beamer, the lucky win- ner of the Blueberry Festival Quilt Raffle. Bernadee re- sides in the Montrose Area. The Quilt, titled “Blueberry Ribbons”, was machine pieced by the Magic Needles Quilt Club and long-arm quilted by Jude Sieker. We wish to thank all who purchased chances, and those who created such a beautiful item of warmth. Ber- nadee, we wish you many hours of snuggly happiness with your new quilt. As I think cool thoughts while nibbling a frozen treat, I leave you with this thought: “Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog.” ~Doug Larson Homerooms—New Pencil Boxes—Big, Yellow Buses Have a Wonderful School Year!!!
