BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

Here are Morristown's local champions, Book Busters, who participated in the Regional Battle of the Books on Saturday, May 21st in Gouverneur.  The team was tested on their knowledge of 20 Juvenile award-winning novels.  Please join me in congratulating this impressive team.  Job well done!

IF YOU LIKE WOODEN BOATS AND HISTORY THEN THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU

The library is pleased to add Rowdy by Christopher Madsen to our collection.  It is the story of a 59-foot Classic Herreshoffs built in 1916 for the New York Yacht Club and purchased for $5,000 in 1998 by the author.  As he was rebuilding her he became fascinated with her original owners.  He spent countless hours reading musty old newspapers which led to more research in libraries, historical offices and town halls.
