Happy National Library Week! Here are some ways to celebrate:

Visit the Reference Desk and enjoy free candy while learning about Library collections and services.

Z magazine

Thanks for your suggestion. The library selects new periodical subscriptions once a year. We’ve already selected titles for 2008, so we’ll request a sample issue of Z Magazine and review it at our upcoming meeting this spring.

Fashion Illustration by Fashion Designers by Laird Borrelli

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll order it for the collection.

Please pre-order Chris Onstad's Achewood: The Great Outdoor Fight. And maybe order anything else you can find that he has made. You will not be sorry! Also! A good thing to have would be The Best of Dinosaur Comics 2003-2005 A.D. (a.k.a. Your Whole Family Is Made Out of Meat) by Ryan North

Thanks for the recommendations. We’ll order both books.
