Good News!

The library is now able to order materials from two local bookstores, Antigone and Singing Wind.

This is Winn Bundy, the owner of the Singing Wind book store who is a font of knowledge about local authors and books.

And here is the link to Antigone Books close by on 4th Avenue. This is a fun book store with lots of helpful staff and lots of choices.

If Baker & Taylor does not carry a new title and CDO wants to purchase it, we can now try these two vendors.

More news later,

Children's news:
I have ordered the book by Dr. Milton Lipson, 'Two Arizona Black Birds' from Changing Hands book store so we should see it available in the catalog pretty soon.
'In "Two Arizona Black Birds" (Wheatmark, $16), Lipson 's enduring stories have been preserved in print to reach a wider audience. But the goal is the same: to amuse, entertain and teach. In this case, it urges people to cultivate their capabilities as they accept their limitations. The black birds in his story are both residents of Arizona's Sonoran Desert. One is the handsome, shiny black phainopepla. The other is a starling whose small, black-feathered body has enough white feathers scattered throughout to make it look almost polka-dotted. They both love to eat seeds, grain and berries, but their absolute favorite food is bugs. How they catch them (or don't) is the focus of Lipson 's story'.

Dr. Lipson died last year and was local writer Marilyn Heins' husband.

Recent DVD orders include:
Hannah Montana: The Complete First Season
Max & Ruby - A Very Merry Christmas
Prince Caspian
Beethoven's Big Break (the dog)
