"Critics are by no means the end of the law. Do not think all is over with you because you articles are rejected. It may be that the editor has his drawer full, or that he does not know enough to appreciate you, or you have not gained a reputation, or he is not in a mood to be pleased. A critic's judgment is like that of any intelligent person. If he has experience, he is capable of judging whether a book will sell. That is all."

—Lavina Goodell Junior editor, Harper's Bazaar

Books for Fun

Children's Area

    The Cat in the Hat?  A herd of dinosaurs?  Magic castles and giant caterpillars?  You just never know what you'll find in our Children's Section!  We have over 11,000 items! These include fiction and non-fiction books for a variety of ages; magazines, puzzles, games, a keyboard, audio-books, videos, dvd's, puppets, and reference materials.  And don't forget to visit with our two hermit crabs, Apollo and Poseidon!
We also have two gaming computers for children 10 and under.
    The beautiful mural in our amphitheater is painted by local artist, Nan Steinmeyer.  It tells the tale of her puppy's adventures after he falls into a magic rabbit hole.  There are comfy chairs, and squishy pillows to make this a great area to enjoy a story or read a book
    Whether you are looking for materials for school or just for fun, the librarians will be happy to help you find what you need.!

Teens' Area

We have over 700 items selected especially for our young adult section of the library.  These include fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, audio-books, and dvd's.
