Music is a lot harder. I love all kinds of music:
grunge, hard rock, electronic (especially ambient) classical, folk, bluegrass, new wave… the list goes on and on. I really don’t care for Country music, but if forced to I’ll even listen to that.
If you want to know anymore about me, just stop into the library!
Hi Catherine!
My name is Elaine T. Perez. I am a children’s librarian at Patchogue-Medford Library, Patchogue, New York. I was googling family book discussions and came across your library’s website. Both the website and the blog are absolutely great!!!!!!!!! I want to start a book discussion for families in the fall along with food. Would it be possible for you to share what works with your patrons such as time, day of the week and age of children. Thanks for any information you can provide. (Thinking of possibly starting a blog also.)
Have a great day. Elaine
