We Wanna Have a Celebration!

We have new furniture, a new look, and we want to celebrate. Come join us in September and help us celebrate our New Look! Watch for upcoming announcements for the date.

2009 marks the Library's 90th year of service to the North Baltimore community. The Library was started in a store front at 113 East Broadway St. in 1919. We think the Library looks pretty good for being 90 years old. To celebrate our new look and our 90th birthday, we plan to celebrate every month for a whole year. Watch for announcements and come join us.

One of them is not reading them.

Please drop off your

register receipts here. We are collecting receipts to raise funds. Thank you to everyone who has turned in green cash register receipts from Great Scot. We have earned over $75 so far.

We are also collecting Our Family UPC's. "Our Family" is the store brand sold by the local Great Scot Community Market.

Just clip the UPC from any "Our Family" product and drop them off at the Main Desk in the basket. The Library earns 5c for each barcode we turn in.

Every little bit helps!

Remember to Think Green!

Drop off your old printer cartridges and cell phones.

Just place in a plastic bag and leave them at the Main Desk.

We will recycle them for you!

August Selection

Hissy Fit by Mary Kay Andrews

From Publishers Weekly
Interior decorator Keeley Rae Murdock has designed her whole life. What she never counted on was discovering her fiancé, A.J. Jernigan, cavorting with her maid of honor in the middle of her rehearsal dinner. She pitches a hissy fit that reverberates through her tiny hometown of Madison, Ga., and captures the attention of Will Mahoney, a newcomer who recently purchased an antebellum plantation house. Will pressures Keeley to restore the rundown mansion within six months. His plan: to woo a woman whom he has seen only on television by designing the house of her dreams by Christmas.

Darker than the book's fluffy title suggests, this black comedy is riven with shocking secrets. And Keeley's vast knowledge of all things antique offers a fascinating peek into the luscious world of designer home furnishing, sure to make readers drool with envy over sideboards and sofas.
