Paul Gatto Music - Thursdays at the Library - Free Jazz

Hi All,

Just a quick shout-out to all blog readers. No, I'm not trying to make this an advertising blog for library events.

Although, occasionally I will make mention of a really, really good library program that I think readers will want to go to. (Click here for a link to the library schedule of programs via the web. You'll get a long list of programs that you might want to go to.)

One of which is the library's weekly jazz band. Paul Gatto and his band play wonderful, fantastic, swinging jazz at the library every Thursday from 11am-2pm.

You can find this swinging, hep, happening band downstairs in room A/B.

Or you can listen to the sweet sounds jazz and let your feet tap your way over to room A/B.

Trust me - you'll be happy you did.

And now for the kicker...we've got absolutely fabulous jazz CD's that are ripe for the taking. They are free, easy to listen to and you'll expand your musical horizons. How great is that?

Click here for the card catalog link to see the CD's in the Farmingdale PL collection.

Enjoy,
Stu

New Posts in Old Wine Bottles - We're Baaaack....

Hi All,

After a month or so hiatus, I'm back. We've got lots of news for you so let me get started.

First, the library is done with the first phase of the library renovation project...which means that the side entrance to the library is complete. The first floor renovation is also complete.

So...we would love to see our library patrons and our library members come to the beautifully and newly renovated library. It looks great! Spacious, great lighting, fantastic furniture and a sumptious new Children's Room to boot! New lighting, carpeting and much more awaits you as you come to the library.

Click on this link to see a quick summary of what we've done! (It is a Flicker slideshow of the library renovations...)

Just a bit of administrative 'stuff' to take care of...I'm going to try to post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from now on. Before -as in last year - I was posting on a somewhat random basis.

Yes - I was posting about 3 times per week, but there was no set schedule. I'd like to try a set schedule in 2011 - I think folks will read the blog a bit more consistently that way.

So, on to today's post...

It is a new year (okay, we are about 3 weeks into it) and you might have made a New Years' resolution regarding getting more done at home. Or you might have promised yourself that you want to get rid of excess paper and junk....perhaps...

Has the library got a program for you. On February 17 at 7pm we are going to be hosting a program entitled, 'Time and Paper Management For a Well Run Home' in our Quiet Meeting Room. Click on this link to view the library calendar to make a reservation for this program. Scroll down about a quarter of the way down the page to read about the program and to make a reservation.

Finally, click here to find a few books on time management that we have in our collection at the Farmingdale Public Library.

Enjoy the links and it is nice to be back blogging again. Tell your friends about this blog - they'll love it and heck, it'll be useful!

Regards,
Stu
