February 7 marks the birth anniversary for several writers.
Charles Dickens was born in 1812, Laura Ingalls Wilder in 1867, and Sinclair Lewis in 1885.
We have read them all...and the other Sinclair.
Sinclair Lewis.
Are there other Sinclairs?
It's getting dusty in here. There's something in my eyes.

Thanks to the Oregon Department of Wildlife, we now have a hatchery at the library.
After the eggs hatch, we will release the fry into the Necanicum River.
The smolt will eventually head to the ocean and complete the cycle of life.
Steelhead FTW.
We support the "Eggs to Fry" program 1000%!
- How do we tell if they are made of wood? - Build a bridge out of them
- But can you not also make bridges out of stone?
- Oh, yeah.
- Does wood sink in water?
- No, it floats. - Throw them into the pond!
We hope someone has saved the digital version of THE CIA WORLD FACTBOOK.
It has vanished seemingly overnight.
Big Bummer because it truly was an excellent resource.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Catharine O’Hara.
She brought so much joy to so many people.
Her performances were always imbued with a deep sense of humanity, light, and love.
Thanks, Catharine ... For everything.
May you rest in peace.
We believe pencils are superior to pens, especially for filling out crossword puzzles.
Does that make us erasist?
But, seriously…
We are digging “Across the Universe: The Past, Present, and Future of the Crossword Puzzle” by Natan Last.
Check it out!

The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
On this day in 1861, Kansas became our 34th state.
Hey, that reminds us of a certain book.
Have you read this one?
Timely.
Surely, you’ve noticed all the romantasy books now come with sprayed edges.
Definitely trending.
This style has been around for a while:

Today is National Nothing Day.
As an un-event, the expectation is that we do not create or otherwise promote NND.
How can we celebrate without doing SOMETHING?
It’s an enigma wrapped in a paradox and shrouded in a conundrum.
Boom!

We just started “Your Name Here” by Helen DeWitt.
This may be the wildest thing we have ever read.
And, suffice it to say, we read the wilds.
It’s like the lovechild of Vollman, Barth, and Borges.
Must really be read to be believed.
Can you say 2FC2E? Neither can we.
A whole bunch of new DVDs just landed, feature films and documentaries.
This one caught our eye: Thank You Very Much!
Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Hey, Andy, are you goofing on Elvis? Hey, baby
Are you having fun?

Bob Weir (October 16, 1947 – January 10, 2026)
“Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be here.”
Our social media team is back from holiday.
It was chill.
We predict that in 2026:
1. The library will add some great new items.
2. The library will offer great programming for all ages.
3. The library bluesky will get progressively strange.
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog!"
We would like to thank all the kind patrons who brought us holiday treats.
Sweets from the sweet.
You didn’t have to do that (but we’re glad you did).
Thanks again, that mint a lot to us.
James Patterson and Danielle Steel both released books on the same day.
Do you know what that means?
The day ends with the letter “y.”
This day in history…literary style:
December 17, 1807 – Fireside poet John Greenleaf Whittier was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
Wittier is best known for his anti-slavery poems and his collection of poems, Snow-Bound.
“I'll lift you and you lift me, and we'll both ascend together.”
William Shakespeare came into the library today.
He tried to place a book on hold.
The computer wouldn’t let him because of outstanding fines.
The error message said, “No holds, bard!”
That’s humor, get it?
Bard, barred?
Nevermind.
Apart from funny names, what do Wilt the Stilt, Earl the Pearl, Pistol Pete, Magic, and King James have in common?
They all appear in the poppin' new book, “Masters of the Game: A Controversial History of the NBA in 75 Legendary Players” by Sam Smith and Phil Jackson.
We hoop you read this one.
