April


Mark Twain: "The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year."


With April upon us already, the year is speeding by. Memories of snow and biting wind are fading fast...well, maybe not fast enough for Bostonians! There are buds on trees and more smiles from passersby. April has two faces with softer air but strong thunderstorms, flowers popping up despite still chilly temperatures at night, and a desire to get out and hit the road but plenty of potholes to avoid!

Books will keep us busy as we begin the second quarter of year. Watch for new books by David Balducci, John Sandford, Nora Roberts, Greg Iles, Donna Leon, Karen Kingsbury, Lisa Scottoline, Toni Morrison, Jane Smiley, Elizabeth Berg, Ann Packer, Susanna Kearsley, Susan Wittig Albert. 


April is Month of the Young Child, Library Snap Shot Month, Amateur Radio Month, Global Child Nutrition Month, National Humor Month, National Poetry Month, and School Library Month.
