It's time to celebrate the end of the Winter Reading Program, Warm Up to A Good Book! 20 participants have logged over 65 books and have written online reviews of 36 great titles. We'll gather on Thursday evening, Feb. 21 at 7:00 p.m. to raffle off some door prizes, enjoy some hot drinks and snacks, and talk about our favorite books. Escape the winter chill @ your library!

I've been watching some great movies from our collection. I heartily recommend these titles:

The Waitress (New! 2007) - This film stars Kerri Russell, of Felicity fame. It tells the touching story of Jenna, waitress and pie-baker extraordninaire, who strives to escape the confines of her small-town life and disappointing marriage by relying on a few strong friendships and an unlikely romance with her obstetrician.

Arrested Development - The Complete Series - (New!) This wacky series ran on FOX from 2003 to 2006. Jason Bateman stars as Michael Bluth, the dutiful son, who tries to save his dysfunctional family from themselves while keeping the family business afloat.

The Family Stone (2005) - A great ensemble cast - including Diane Keaton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Luke Wilson, and Rachel McAdams - comes together in an original holiday film that is, at turns, hilarous and heartbreaking. Will uptight businesswoman Meredith ever fit in with the Sone family? And will she find love with her almost-fiance Everett Stone? Like another of my favorites, Love, Actually, this understated movie is more than the sum of its holiday parts.
