This?

This, the Friends love.

Got $5,000 lying around?

Probably not a book you'll pick up at a Friends of the Jones Library used book sale...

When in Russia...

In the Moscow metro you can download for free over 100 Russian classics, to read while you wait for your train.  The Friends say da to that, comrade.

'Course, if you can finish any of those tomes before your train comes, maybe you should consider an alternate source of transportation to work...

O Canada

Our neighbors to the north are so cool.

Mark your calendars to read

You know all those books you'll WANT to buy on Saturday?  The Friends offer you a legitimate reason to buy them ALL!

This Saturday! This Saturday! This Saturday!

The few. The proud. The librarians.

You know how you've always secretly wanted to be a librarian? 

This one's for you.

North Amherst Library closed 11/13/14

Next Wednesday, November 12th, the North Amherst Library will be CLOSED.  They're getting new carpeting!!  Woo hoo!  And on Thursday, November 13th?  There will be teeming masses at the North Amherst Library to see what it looks like.

Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.  But the Munson and Jones are still open for business!

Pizza soup?

Even starving writers need to eat.  Here are some recipes from 16 of your favorite authors.  

And the Friends would like you to know that no one needs to ever bring Ray Bradbury's pizza soup to a potluck. That's the kind of thing one should consume at home.  Alone.  Very, very alone.

However, should you whip up a batch of Edgar Allen Poe's eggnog? We'll be right over.

Authors and books and totes! Oh my!

And? Buy one of these and get two free books!

Love,

the Friends

Coming Together

Many people in the Amherst area would like to see us become a community that deals with race issues more constructively, in which people are more connected with each other, and where equity, inclusion, and open communication prevail.  Three events in November, starting this week, for people of all racial backgrounds, will provide chances for us to come together, learn, and talk with each other in a safe environment.

Lego Club cancelled

Due to a “series of unfortunate events,” the Jones Library’s Lego Club has been cancelled for November and December 2014.

See you in 2015!
