Duxbury Free Library Our building is closed on Veteran's Day, but don't forget about our "virtual" services. Search the catalog, place holds, reserve museum passes, do research via our databases, download audiobooks, read full-text articles. If you are without an internet connection, use our wireless connection in the parking lot... or sit on bench in our gardens!

I am glad to report that not only was I served a hot beverage, it arrived on a tray with a lacy doily. When's Happy Hour? Thanks so much to the great Library Ladies.

Duxbury Free Library The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. Have you read it? Is there any interest in beginning a creative cluster here?

A creative cluster is a group that commits to meet weekly for 12 weeks, and follows the curriculum and exercises in the book. Cameron suggests that it be peer-run, non-judgemental, suppportive and act as a "believing mirror"- a YES to each other's creativity.

I think a creative cluster might be good. I listened to the first two chapters and I could use the discipline of weekly meetings to follow her path.

Duxbury Free Library The Help by Kathryn Stockett is on my mind! Most readers and reviewers are praising the novel. Check out the NY Times article, read the book and let's talk.

Since it came out in February, “The Help” has been embraced by book clubs and bloggers who can’t stop recommending it to their friends.

I agree, Amy. I've been telling everyone I meet that audio is the way to go for this book. The way the readers captured the narrative was one-of-a-kind. Their voices. Their slang. Their intonations. No way I could have done the same in my head reading it in print. I wish it would be required reading for the students in Duxbury - the way life used to be. Our kids know nothing about it (and I barely do).

Claudia, that's a very interesting point - some books are better when listened to. Does anyone know of any others that are better heard than read?
