My name is Kathy, and I’ve worked for Mid-Continent for 25 years. I can truly say that time flies when you’re having fun! Here are five books I love: two all-time favorites, and three that I’ve read and enjoyed more recently.
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you could go back in time and do a day over again? Sam Kingston has just had a strange day. She got up for school, met her friends for the ride to the campus, collected a lot of roses for Cupid Day, went to an awesome party, and died in a horrible accident on the way home. Sam Kingston is dead- or is she? When she wakes up the next morning, Sam is almost convinced it was a really bad dream. Worse still, Sam realizes that she has rewound the clock, and is starting the same day over again. What if she changed a few things?
The library has many helpful tools for teachers. One you may not know about is our Teacher Assistance program. You tell us the subject you need your books on, and we will gather them for you. Click here to find the Teacher Assist form online. Or, you can pick one up at your local branch.
The Antioch Branch Tuesday morning book club has been going strong since February of 1994. Four of our current 15 members have been with the group from the beginning.
In preparing for an upcoming trip down under, I started looking for a different style of travel book since I had already read the typical travel guides. I soon found the book Fly Solo by Teresa Rodriguez Williamson.

October is the time for one of America's 'ultimate' classics. You sports fans know what I mean. It's the fall classic, or better known as the "World Series"! In case you somehow missed it, Ken Burns added a new segment to his outstanding documentary on Baseball. It's called the 10th Inning, and ran on channel 19 recently.
October is Right-Brainers Rule Month. Officially registered by Lee Silber with Chase's Calendar of Events, it is a month long celebration to focus on those of us who are creative and innovative, and manage to survive in a left-brained world.
This month, in addition to our displays on Halloween, pet selection, and scary stories, Lee’s Summit has a display of pulp fiction titles.
