[Lakewood Public Library]

"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." -- Ray Bradbury (1920-)

This Week's Featured E-Book:
Big Russ and Me, Father and Son: Lessons of Life by Tim Russert
Tim Russert's Big Russ & Me - a huge national bestseller - casts a fond look back to the 1950s Buffalo neighborhood of Russert's youth and recalls the extraordinary example of his father - a WWII veteran who worked two jobs without complaint for thirty years and taught his children to appreciate the values of self-discipline, of respect, of loyalty to friends. Russert gives us reason to laugh, cry, and identify with the lessons of life taught by the indomitable Big Russ. Software needed: Adobe Reader 6 and higher
