New Jodi Picoult book in February 2010

Jodi Picoult, who is possibly the most popular author at our library, has a new book coming out in February: HOUSE RULES. It is about a teenage boy with Asperger's syndrome who becomes a murder suspect. The title is already in our card catalog, so holds may be placed. This will undoubtedly be in high demand, and we'll have multiple copies.

Toys for Tots

The Mansfield Rotary Club has dropped off two big boxes for Toys for Tots. Bring in a new gift now for a deserving child! According to the club's website, 1/2 of the toys collected go directly to Mansfield's West Side Benevolent Circle right here in Mansfield, and the rest are distributed through southeastern Massachusetts by the Marine Corps.

Want to learn a foreign language?

Our compact discs and books on cassette for learning languages are quite popular. We've been looking into on-line learning for languages, but have found them too expensive, basically, in relation to our demand. We discovered www.livemocha.com, which is apparently free. Take a look and let us know what you think.
