The Professor!

Who is the mysterious Professor?

He was a 14" tall hollow chocolate bunny; oddly he was holding a book and had been given the name "The Professor." No one knows why. We acquired him from the Family Dollar Store about a month before Easter.
No one could stand the waiting before eating him... almost daily, Sean asked: "When will we eat the Professor?"
Finally on Friday the 22nd, we did the deed.

Fire on O'Connor Street

Late late late last Thursday night, the 21st, the house on the corner of Jillson and O'Connor Streets burned down- right behind our library. Fortunately everyone got out quickly and everyone's OK. Most amazingly, the demolition started almost immediately on Friday morning- right after the fire marshal came, at about 11:00 am.

And by Saturday afternoon, there was only a vacant lot.

It's National Poetry Month, Fool!

It's National Poetry Month, and we had the great good luck to be visited by the following members of Ocean State Poets: Margie Flanders, Larry Krips, and Lynnie Gobeille. A couple of our own library users read as well: Sam LaFortune, and Asia Perry. Some audience members also took turns reading poems by our visiting poets, and a couple of us just read our favorite poems.
