Featured Article
     º Breaking Bread Together
Studies show that for decades the family ritual of dining together has been steadily declining, but a focus on bringing attention to the importance of family meal times has started to turn things around. Family time is important for building and maintaining relationships. So get out the calendar and grocery list and start planning the menu today.

Featured Book
     º A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odor. In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.
