What better way to kick off the month of May than Free Comic Book Day at the SJCPL Main Library on Saturday, May 2. Free Comic Book Day was started in 2002 and occurs annually on the first Saturday in May. It is no accident that it occurs the day after the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine! Activities at the library will start at 9 am and there will be free comic books, while they last, courtesy of BuyMeToys.com . Ages 12-18 can participate in comic book gaming from 9:30-noon. Stick around to learn how to make your own folded book from noon until 1:30. SJCPL always puts on terrific programs. Check this one out.

Greetings everyone! I have been remiss in keeping up this blog so I decided it was time for a makeover and a fresh start. There is so much going on this week it seemed to be a perfect time to get back on track. What will you find here?  I plan to include happenings in the library, information on new books, mini book reviews, major events at the SJCPL and anything else that happens to cross my mind. Feel free to write back with your opinions on the new theme, ideas for subjects to post or any other comments.
