Library Lovers’ Contest: Week 3

heartsIdentify what song these romantic lyrics come from and win a scrumptious candy bouquet!

Leave a comment with all five song titles.

A winner will be drawn from random.

1. We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that’s walking around with me.
And then she asks me, “Do you feel all right?”
And I say, “Yes, I feel wonderful tonight.”

2. When a man loves a woman
Can’t keep his mind on nothing else
He’ll trade the world
For the good thing he’s found

3. However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

4. And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love

5. Love, I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

Library Lovers’ Contest: Week 1

heartIdentify these quotes from great romances. Leave a comment listing the five titles of the book/play/movie that the quotes come from and you’ll be entered to win a delicious candy bouquet. Winner will be randomly drawn.

1. No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.

2. What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

3. Reader, I married him.

4. And what is a kiss, specifically? A pledge properly sealed, a promise seasoned to taste, a vow stamped with the immediacy of a lip, a rosy circle drawn around the verb ‘to love.’ A kiss is a message too intimate for the ear, infinity captured in the bee’s brief visit to a flower, secular communication with an aftertaste of heaven, the pulse rising from the heart to utter its name on a lover’s lip: ‘Forever.’

5. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

I love the library, because I have always loved the library! Visiting it today, reminds me of walking to the library when I was growing up. I like it today & I like the warm and happy memories it brings. As a junior high and high school student, I volunteered in the school library. I respect and admire the Dewey Decimal system!

I take my sons to the library, we visit the Batavia branch the most. We love utilizing the library’s resources, its a wonderful part of the community. The boys head straight to the children’s area to pick out books, dvds, and also to play with the toys and blocks. Thank you for making our library such a wonderful place!

The staff of CCPL is very friendly and helpful. The library is not so big that you feel lost and not so small that you feel that there is not a very good selection of books. I love the fact that if your branch does not have a book that you are looking for you can easily order it from another branch or source. When I was a Freshmen in High School I read a book called God Is My Copilot for a book report. I liked the book so much that I wanted to read it again but they did not have it at the library. I inquired about the book and they checked for me and it was not at any of the other branches but they found it for me from another source and ordered it in. I also love the fact that you have the biggest selection of l arge print books. I have trouble reading small print and with the large print I do not have to squint anymore and can still have the enjoyment of reading a good book.

With an apology to all poets….

The month of February Can be awfully scary
Filled with snow, ice and sleet
Frozen face, hands and feet.
It’s so hard to stay warm
Or even dream of the charm
Of a lush early spring
Chirping birds on the wing.
But the Public Library Is a really good fairy!
She brings life to the room
As she drives off the gloom.
So generous with herself-
Offerings on every shelf.
With one come-hither look
Wow! I’m reading a book!
Soon I’m lost in the heat
Of a southern retreat.
Now the world’s bright and sunny A
nd magically funny.
Sometimes it’s mysterious
Or factually serious
I am transported away
From this cold dreary day.
Yippee yee, yippee yay!

Our family is new to the area, and we’ve been pleasantly surprised by the services and books/movies available to us at our Milford branch! I am eager to start the literacy kits with our 2 year old. We are also learning to use the online features of the library, and they are great too! I love the “2009 book favorites” compiled by library staff members. We LOVE the library!!!
