Historical November 1980 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
I apologize for my thoughtless attack on those of you who don’t read on your porches.
Not only was my figure for the total number of porch readers in the last two years grossly inaccurate (I’ve heard of another), but my refusal, in the interest of privacy, to reveal the identity of the Lone Reader has caused a lot of suspicion on Kingsbury.
I have also changed my mind about being outside at all, for reading or for any other purpose.
As I walk home, clouds of Tiny Flying Things swarm around my head. Though I am tired from a hard day’s work, I dare not yawn. Don’t read outside without your gnat hat.
Anne Judy’s article, “Resources for Women,” in the October Paper must have magically brought about the legacy the branch just received: five boxes of books from the women’s bookmobile unit the St. Louis Public Library used to operate.
We now have a much larger, varied and interesting though slightly dated collection of feminist literature so consider the library another women’s resource.
November is definitely football month at Des Peres Branch.
On Thursday, Nov. 13th at 3:30, we will show “Bringing Back the Magic,” an exciting film of highlights of past St. Louis Cardinal games.
Those who attend will receive season schedules and Cardinal stickers.
We are especially delighted to have Onion Horton here on Saturday, Nov. 22nd at 2. Mr. Horton is the sometimes controversial sports writer of the St. Louis Argus.
He will speak on “Getting into Professional Sports” and will answer any sports questions you may have.
As a special bonus, he is bring a mystery football Cardinal with him.
Bring your penny jar to the pre-owned, pre-Christmas book sale on Saturday, Nov. 29th from 2-4 p.m. Surplus or withdrawn paperbacks and hardbacks will be on sale at low, low prices. And bring your library cards too so that you can get in line for The Firestarter, Key to Rebecca, The Tenth Commandment, or Loon Lake.
The lines are gnat as long as you think.
