    Contact:    732-431-7220   
    It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery...

Set during World War II in Germany, this groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist - books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

The Headquarters Book Discussion Group, led by Pat Whitehead, welcomes new members. Books are available at the Circulation Desk.

    A novel, based on Mary Ann Shaffer’s painstaking, lifelong research, is homage to booklovers and a nostalgic portrayal of an era. As her quirky, loveable characters cite the works of Shakespeare, Austen, and the Brontës, Shaffer subtly weaves those writers’ themes into her own narrative. However, it is the tragic stories of life under Nazi occupation that animate the novel and give it its urgency. The novels humor and optimism affirms the power of books to nourish people during hard times.

The Wall Book Club welcomes new members to stop by and join the group for some lively and interesting discussions every third Thursday of the month in the Meeting Room.

A sweet and clever combination of anecdotes and autobiography, Radio Days draws heavily on Woody Allen's childhood and a nostalgic backward glance at an era when radio reigned supreme. The unfolding episodes are woven together by music, hits of the 1940s, and some built around radio itself. Though light in tone, Radio Days is a re-creation of an era and how radio itself used to transmit dreams. Starring: Mia Farrow, Danny Aiello, Dianne Wiest, Michael Tucker, Julie Kavener and a cameo by Diane Keaton.
