In honor of National Friends of Libraries Week (October 19-25), the Friends of the Modesto Library is proud to present A Novel Open House & Book Exchange, featuring mystery author Cornelia Read at the Modesto Library . Doors open at 6:30 pm, with Ms. Read taking the stage at about 7:00. Please come to share dessert, coffee, and Friendship (haha–get it?) downstairs in the library auditorium.

Read is sure to be a hoot, and her books will be available for signing following the talk. Also, don’t forget to bring a novel to share at the book exchange table–it’s bring one, take one. Sponsored by Friends of the Modesto Library.

Climbing around @ your libraryMy family (middle-aged man + woman + 6-year-old) is always visiting the Stanislaus County library for one thing or another. Sometimes we pay our late fines (whoops! Despite email reminders, we remain incorrigible late turner-inners), while other times we’re checking out a great children’s program (see the Schedule of Kid’s Events). One day last summer, the kiddo & I just took pics around the outside. She had fun while I snapped pics. This is one of the images; the rest can be seen on my Flickr page on the Hometown Library collection.
