On Monday, October 24th at 2:00 PM, we will be discussing the updated version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn: The Newsouth Edition. Since this new edition has come out in early 2011, several news venues have been discussing the importance of the edits and changes to this classic text. Some love the idea and some abhor it.

Librarian Gwendolyn Celebrates 15 Years of Service!

GwenJoin me in congratulating Librarian Gwendolyn on her 15 years of service to the the Harris County Public Library system! While some at Northwest Branch might have only known Gwendolyn for the four years here at our library; she has been developing her vast library knowledge at our Administration Offices for the 11 years prior to coming out the this area of town. She is an asset to our branch and the library system as a whole. You may have met her at Computer Class (Wednesdays @ 12 PM) or at one of her two book clubs (Mondays @ 2 PM). Maybe, she signed you up for Adult Summer Reading or you worked with her via our Volunteer Program. She may have been the one to give you an eBook tutorial or helped you set up an email account. Congrats to you, Librarian Gwendolyn, on your service anniversary!

Gwen and Connie Help at New DeskIf you have stopped by the branch lately, you were sure to notice there are no longer two separate help desks. We have combined Reference and Circulation Services into one area. Feel free to ask anyone behind the desk your questions. All of us will be able to help you find a book, check out materials or get a library card!  Also, be sure to check out our new Adult Reading Area. We have added some comfy furniture that is sure to delight. Pick out a good book and stay awhile! Enjoy... it's your library!

Now you see me. Now you don't.

Book CoverJoin us for a discussion of the classic H.G. Wells novel The Invisible Man on Monday, September 26th at 2:00 PM. On the surface, this novel seems like your typical Science Fiction adventure story. But, we will discuss what makes it classic. Why has it held the test of time? And what makes the characters and the notion of invisibility an everlasting phenomenon? The notion graces the pages of Harry Potter even today! Share your thoughts at Book Club! We hope to see you there.
