So this is when we remind you that our biggest event of the year, Mystery Night, is fast approaching. This year’s theme, Super Villains, is based on an awesome web series called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, which we just added to our video collection:
I’m supposed to talk about how you can register now online for the after-hours, run-around-the-library-screaming-and-being-silly event, which is on Saturday, October 1st from 5:45 to 8 PM at the Main Library.
But I can’t. Because of this:
Wonderstruck is the new book by the amazing, incomparable Mr. Brian Selznick, author of our 2008 One Book One Town selection The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Those of you who met Brian back then when he visited our town can tell you: The dude is awesome. And this book is amazing!
Also new: Wildwood by Colin Meloy with illustrations by Carson Ellis. Ms. Ellis, of course, is responsible for the terrific artwork in the Mysterious Benedict Society series. Her husband, Mr. Meloy is famous too: He is the lead singer for one of our favorite bands, The Decemberists. (Visit Nicole’s office and she’s probably singing along to one of their albums. Loudly.) Wildwood is a great adventure story and worth checking out!
So, yeah. Mystery Night is coming…maybe I can put these books down for long enough to get ready for it!
