Happy 2008 Everyone!!

Starting the New Year off without Ms. Dawn just didn't feel right. But, we know that she and the family are settling in and doing well in the frigid temperatures of Wisconsin! We wish them well and they will surely be missed!!

As the saying goes "with every loss there is a gain." So, let me introduce you to the newest John's Island Library Family member, Ms. Melanie Slan. Ms. Melanie will be working with both the Children's Department and in Reference. She is a busy lady and we are proud to have her on board!!!

One last note, the 2008 book awards were announced at the Midwinter American Library Association Meeting. I have listed the Caldecott and the Newbery awards to the right of this page. Just click on the title to find it in the CCPL system. To see a list of the other awards visit the ALA website: www.ala.org. These are the best of the best so get your eyes on them while they're hot!!

Happy Reading,
Ms. Jana
