Meet Connie Burns!

Hi! My name is Connie Burns. I’m the new Youth Services Assistant. Most recently I was the librarian at Mahoney Middle School in South Portland. I am thrilled to be working in a public library, because they are really cool places. I love to read (no surprise there!), but also love kayaking, going to the movies, spending time with friends, snow shoeing, and doing zumba.

Traveling is another fun thing for me, - and I am going to Istanbul, Turkey in a couple of weeks!!  Search Google images to see some great pictures of Istanbul.  Here’s on of the famous Blue Mosque:

  

I just started reading The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. You can find it (when it isn’t checked out) in the YA section of the library.  So far, it is not my favorite book, but I want to read it before I go to see the movie by the same title that is opening on September 21^st.  The previews look pretty interesting.

       What are you reading?  I love to get suggestions of good books!

        Stop by the library and introduce yourself to me.  I’ll be working Wednesday after school and evening, and Sunday afternoons.  

       See you at the library!

Lock Down 2 update

Due to low registration numbers, we made the decision to cancel Teen Lock Down 2 scheduled for Monday, August 20, 2012. We were disappointed, but understand how busy everyone is these last days of summer. Another Lock Down is being planned for Friday, October 26, so mark your calendars!

Stay tuned to this blog, because next week we will be posting the entries in our Book Trailers contest. They all were great. Congratulations to those who made and submitted them. Though the contest is over, we encourage you to keep submitting your Book Trailer and we will continue to post them to this blog.

Happy Summer.
Mrs. C
