"Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master...A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it." <a href="http://www.garthstein.com/arr/">http://www.garthstein.com/arr/</a></div>

<span style="color: red;"><strong>The August 2nd program for girls, about self-esteem and dealing with bullies, has been canceled.</strong></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We hope to offer it again, at a less busy time of year, if we think there is an interest. If you would like to see this program happen, <em>please let us know</em>!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We hope you are enjoying your summer days- with a good book in hand! Our <strong><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">adult summer reading prize drawings</span></strong> start tomorrow. Enter to win gift certificates to Village businesses Wax 'n Wicks Candles, Sadie's Pharmacy and Gifts, and one TBA. Simply come to the library and write down a book you've read, with your contact info, to qualify. (More about adult summer reading: <a href="http://lakegeorgelibrary.blogspot.com/2010/07/summer-reading-is-for-grownups-too.html">click here</a>!)<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Our Floating Classroom outing is already full.</span></strong> Kids can still sign up for our summer reading program, though, and if they read ten books they get all sorts of goodies. (More about kids summer reading: <a href="http://lakegeorgelibrary.blogspot.com/2010/07/summer-reading-and-lake-george-monster.html">click here</a>!)</div>

We will post details on our August 11 program for children soon. </div>

<span style="color: #38761d;"><strong>Georgie</strong> </span>was 'born' in the summer of 1904, in Hague, NY. He popped up all over Lake George, and <a href="http://www.townofhague.org/townofhague/museum/george.htm">seemed to like teasing people</a>. Later he was the <a href="http://www.csicop.org/sb/show/lake_george_monster_hoax/">star of a local carnival, escaped a fire, and traveled all the way to the Virgin Islands and back</a>. </div>

The <a href="http://pac.sals.edu/polaris/Search/default.aspx?ctx=15.1033.0.0.6">Online Library Catalog</a> isn't just a list of books!<br />
<br />
Well, yes: you can search through the collections of the <a href="http://www.sals.edu/">SALS</a> and <a href="http://www.mvls.info/">MVLS</a> library systems. But it also gives you access to your library account: log on to place requests, perform renewals, see what items you have out, their due dates, and fines (not that you would <em>ever </em>have fines). <br />
<br />
In addition, the online catalog has recently been updated. You can now:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>Look for items currently on the shelf</strong><br />
Check online to see what's available at the library (especially handy if you don't have time to browse). Jot down the title or call number, and ask at the desk if you need help locating the book, audiobook, movie or CD you seek.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMICUGLCP_NbVqKgLUj39qqGn8jKhfWNSonN_lJGdxXcpPUXLACV5DK3NADXOkv6Gby1Z8mwJ9rHMe4ZJpZmWkWvi-JDiiUOMSN06mk_8CH9GQK4GDZDYGB-abYC0_HEqScjvpu8hf41s/s1600/pac1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" ru="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMICUGLCP_NbVqKgLUj39qqGn8jKhfWNSonN_lJGdxXcpPUXLACV5DK3NADXOkv6Gby1Z8mwJ9rHMe4ZJpZmWkWvi-JDiiUOMSN06mk_8CH9GQK4GDZDYGB-abYC0_HEqScjvpu8hf41s/s400/pac1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<strong>Create a personal username</strong><br />
Previously, logging into your patron account required the thirteen digit barcode number on the back of your library card. Now you can make up your own, as simple or memorable as you like.</div>
