Recommended Summer Reads




If you're like me, you're always on the lookout for a good book to wile away the summer hours. I've read several recently that I'd recommend: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay,The Help by Kathryn Stockett, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford, and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson.

Kaleidoscope


"Make sure you visit the Bailey library reference room during the Kaleidoscope Festival" (April 14-25), and walk into a "life-size kaleidoscope". The "large purple sculpture" (8'x8'x16') was constructed by Erie artist, Gary Cacchione.
