Crunch

Leslie Connor's newest book, Crunch is a story about a young man determined to help a community challenged by the lack of oil.  While mom and dad are stranded in their big rig, Dewey and his siblings are left alone to manage a small farm and a family bike shop.  Crunch explores the independence and determination of a teenager and how he balances a responsibility to his family with a demanding bike shop.

"Dear Library Advocate, a modified version of the ELFA Article VII bill (S.2026/A.2289) that will authorize the distribution of designated system aid, continue hold harmless provisions and enable SED Commissioner to grant waivers from local maintenance of effort requirements in order to receive Library Aid, is on committee agendas today in both the Senate and Assembly (see below).  So please visit www.nyla.org and click on Contact Your Elected Officials button to send fax/email to your state legislator urging them to past this bill as soon as possible.  Thank you."  Michael Borges
