The Wilmington Library is looking for students in 5th, 6th, or 7th grade who: like to read, like answering trivia questions, and like to win prizes. Does this sound like you or anyone you know? If yes, then the Take a Bite out of Books (TABOB) Competition may be for you. TABOB is a Jeopardy style trivia competition, where participants read the same 6 books and face off against teams from area libraries, by answering questions about the books. This year’s books are Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt, Walls Within Walls by Maureen Sherry, Troubletwisters: The Magic by Garth Nix, Touch Blue by Cynthia Lord, Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos, and Candy Bomber by Michael O. Tunnell. The students who compete will be provided with copies of all 6 books, and a team t-shirt.
The 2014 TABOB Competition will take place on June 28th at 9:30 at the Champlain Centre Mall. If you are interested or have any questions, please contact the Library at 518-946-7701.

We are happy to be participating in this year’s World Book Night as an official “book giver”.
World Book Night is an annual celebration dedicated to spreading the love of reading, person to person. Each year on April 23, tens of thousands of people go out into their communities and give half a million free World Book Night paperbacks to light and non-readers.
World Book Night is about giving books and encouraging reading in those who don’t regularly do so. But it is also about more than that: It’s about people, communities and connections, about reaching out to others and touching lives in the simplest of ways—through the sharing of stories.
World Book Night is a nonprofit organization. They exist because of the support of thousands of book givers, booksellers, librarians, and financial supporters who believe in our mission. Successfully launched in the U.K. in 2011, World Book Night was first celebrated in the U.S. in 2012. Thank you to our U.K. friends for such a wonderful idea!
More information can be found at World Book Night or by contacting the library.

Help us protect NY’s libraries and library systems. We need to tell the NYS Legislature to reject the $2.4 million cut in Library Aid Governor David Paterson is proposing in the 2010-2011 Executive Budget.
This will be the fifth cut in less than two years and will bring Library Aid down from $102 million in 2007 to $84.5 million in 2010. These cuts combined total an $18 million or 18% reduction in funding for library services. Libraries are part of our safety net—they are essential to life long learning, jobs and opportunity, quality of life and community empowerment.
