Knitting, Non-Fiction, and Alice

I know that everyone is busy as the school year picks up.

To be expected.

Some things going on at the library that I'm doing besides storytime:

*I have a knitting program that I'm resonsible for. We meet the 2nd Saturday of every month. This is an all-ages group. Really though, there are so many different age groups so you all are welcome, even if you have no clue as to how to knit.

Here are some online resources if you are interested http://delicious.com/tryaknit

* I'm moving all the Young Adult Non-Fiction books and interfiling them with the Adult
Non-Fiction. I'm not sure if you have ever noticed how some of the YA Non-Fiction is in the children's room. Now, it my get used more in the Adult side. Also, considering Non-Fiction materials... I have requested that many Juvenile Non-Fiction books be moved into the Adult side as Young Adult Non-Fiction. These titles came up on a list (the get rid of list.) I couldn't get rid of them though. They are solid Non-Fiction titles that you could use they are just in the wrong area. So... that's just some info.

Also, if you are into animation, 3D graphics and illustration design, look into this downloadable software. It was created by some interesting folks at Carnegie Mellon University for your age group. So, it's user friendly. It's free. I haven't used it yet, but I will. The website for "Alice" is
