Good Morning Neighbors!
Good Afternoon Neighbors!
Hello Neighbors!
Good Afternoon Neighbors!We are pleased to announce that our first Get Crafty program was a big success!
I’m a firm believer in hands-on learning and fun, and Get Crafty has these elements and more.
Our first program, finger-knitting, was based on a really cool book called I Love Knitting, which can be found in the Young Adult section. We had fun trying knitting with our fingers and with knitting needles. Even our teen aid, Jeremy, could be seen knitting a scarf. Or was it a belt? Most of the teens finished one scarf and either started a second one or took home yarn to get crafty at home.
On the first Thursday every month at 4:00, teens meet at the library for knitting, scrap-booking, beading, and various other artistic surprises Miss Tracy has up her crafty sleeve. Get Crafty always incorporates projects found in non-fiction books from the Young Adult section, which you can check out for more fun at home!
Our next Get Crafty program is beading and jewelry-making, based on another young adult book. Knitting was our first of many Get Crafty programs to come—we hope to see you there!
REMINDER: Watha T. Daniel Library also has a knitting club that meets the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Come check it out!

Me and the Devil Blues by Akira Hiramoto
Good-Bye by Yoshihiro Tatsumi
Daryl Gregory's debut novel, Pandemonium, is a fantastic mash-up of classic high-concept science fiction and pop-culture satire. By turns comic and introspective (and often both at once), the story explores the collective unconscious and the nature of the relationship between archetypes and the cultures that create them. Gregory's writing style is refreshingly current, witty and self-aware. He not only acknowledges, but includes his influences in the text itself, folding pioneers of speculative fiction like Philip K. Dick and A. E. Van Vogt into the story itself. The result is as unique as it is well-crafted.

Hello. My name is Nick, and I just started here at Watha T. Daniel.
Good Morning Neighbors!
I have an Apple computer at home for audio-visual work and have been using Macs for that last ten years. You may not own one yourself, but you’ve probably seen one and remarked about how cool they look. You also might’ve said something like, “Wow, that computer is pretty, but I could never figure it out.” Well, now Macs are more user-friendly than ever, and more powerful, and more fun! Come see for yourself at our library, where we’ve just installed our Creative Content Station. This machine blows mine out of the water ten times over.
The Station consists of a brand new beautiful iMac (yes, it’s huge) with software capable of creating high-quality movies, editing photos, creating original music, and uploading your finished products to the web. In addition, we’ve got a digital camera, a video camera, and audio equipment for public use to help make your artistic dreams a reality. It’s also a perfect machine to help people get accustomed to Apple computers, as they are only getting more popular.
So come check out our new Creative Content Station. Let’s make some MOVIES!!!
Good Morning Neighbors!
