Mysteries take a look at the Universities.

Submitted by Bonnie Langan on Wed, 08/25/2010 - 5:10pm

The Baldwin Boettcher Branch Library Mystery Book Club will take a look at our Universities through the eyes of murder, intrigue and mayhem.  Does your favorite book take place at a University?  Did Professor Plum get murdered after his lecture in the library?  Find a book that has a setting, theme or character from an University and bring it to our Mystery Book Club.  Present it to the group so we may expand our reading experiences.  Join the Mystery Book Club on September 15th at 2 pm.  We always have a good time talking about our favorite authors, books and of course food.  Help us decide which subject will be good for October.  See you on the 15th of September at 2 pm.

Summer Reading at Baldwin Boettcher

Submitted by Bonnie Langan on Thu, 08/12/2010 - 6:35pm

Summer Reading at the Baldwin Boettcher Library was a grand success.  Our Children's Librarian, Nancy Rodriguez, kissed a cow.  A few of our young participants were "hugged" by a very large snake.  It goes without saying we ate really well.  Snacks have been provided by the Friends of the Baldwin Boettcher Library.  Adult programming had some taste testing and Domino's pizza provided the experience of a life time with two pizza parties.

The Baldwin Boettcher Library presented 61 programs; entertaining 2149 participants.  Due to budget constraints the Friends of the Baldwin Boettcher Library foot the bill for costs.

Mystery Book Club sees Red, White and Blue

Submitted by Bonnie Langan on Fri, 07/09/2010 - 1:01pm

For our July Mystery Club we will be discussing mysteries with the red, white and blue theme.  This could be better known as the "patriotic theme".  As you know we are not too strict on our interpretation of what you need to read.  This book club is all about getting together, making friends and discussing why we like or do not like a book we have read.  Others in the club give us ideas of the books they liked and maybe we would like to read them also.  So come join us on July 21st at 2 pm.  This way you will be able to help us decide the theme for August.
