Teens "That's so gay"Wednesday, October 8, 2008 - 4:38pm — Sarah LudwigGLSEN and the Ad Council have a new campaign out there to try to wipe out the phrase "that's so gay," which they say has been written online 80,100 times as of today! Visit their website to come up with your own "that's so..." phrase. (My favorite so far? "That's so FAIL.")

That's when FactCheck.org comes in. It's bipartisan, which means it doesn't take sides. You can find out what the truth is about claims that both candidates have made. It's a great way to be involved in the political process and make sure that you're not allowing those tricky political ads to be your only source of information! To start on the site, check out The Whoppers of 2008: A Partial Tally.
And don't forget to watch the vice-presidential debate tonight! Annual knit-a-thon!Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - 9:44am — Sarah Ludwig
Teens, join us for our annual knit-a-thon, from 3-5 p.m. on Friday, October 17th.

The knit-a-thon is also open to adults and children--bring your friends and family! We'll provide patterns, knitting needles, and yarn. The final drop-off of hats and scarves will be on Friday, November 21. Registration (as well as previous knitting experience) is required and you can do that at the Children’s Room desk: call 655-1234 x117 or stop by!

Another Olympian, Coach K, is also working on a book [scroll down for info], this one with his daugher. It's about coaching Team USA to gold at the 2008 Bejing games. And finally, Serena Williams just signed a seven figure book deal to write her memoirs. This one will come out in 2009. Did you know she's won NINE grand slams? Carrie in high schoolWednesday, September 24, 2008 - 1:21pm — Sarah LudwigI wanted to hate Sex and the City, but one year I borrowed all of the episodes from Netflix and got totally addicted to the show. I think it was because I'd just moved ot of New York and I missed the city. When I was living there, I was getting a pedicure and I glanced out the window to see them filming an episode with SJP!
So what do you think? Will you read them? Will you love them or hate them? Either way, you know they'll be at the Darien Library as soon as they're published! In the meantime, you can check out the book, the shows, AND the movie. LC's book dealSaturday, September 20, 2008 - 11:39am — Sarah Ludwig
Some people are saying that this is a stupid idea, but I actually think they might be good -- and no one has written a book yet about starring in a reality TV show. I wonder if Spencer and Heidi are going to try to get their own book deal???   Darien Library, 35 Leroy Avenue, Darien, Connecticut, 06820 · 203-655-1234Directions and Contact Information.

There's a lot of information out there and Senator Obama and Senator McCain have both made many statements about where the other stands on particular issues. So who do you believe?
