September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month (sponsored by American Library Association.) Make it a personal goal: Recommend to a friend or a child that they sign up for a Bonney Memorial Library card...or better yet, bring them to the library! On display in the Clilfford Room are some patron's favorites to entice new and returning patrons.

Today in 1947, the beloved children's bedtime story "Goodnight Moon" was published. Margaret Wise Brown is a very familiar name in children's lit circles and with parents and children worldwide, but how about the illustrator, Clement Hurd? Hurd began his collaboration with "Brownie" with "Bumble Bugs and Elephants," published in 1938 and "perhaps the first modern board book for babies." Illustrating "The Runaway Bunny" in 1942 followed and then came the classic, 'Goodnight Moon,' "the ultimate baby book and if I had to choose just one single book to read to my baby, this would be it.”

The world just lost a great champion of the natural world. Wendell Berry, environmental activist, farmer, poet, essayist and novelist died yesterday at the age of 92. "Andy Catlett Early Travels," a beautiful, short, memoir-like novel is a perfect entry-point to Wendell Berry’s rich and ever-evolving saga," situated in the fictious town of Port William, KY. "Andy Catlett," awaits you on the shelves of Bonney Memorial Library.
