Books are Magically Delicious

It's never too late to learn.

I took a magic class at Jinxed Magic in Brooklyn, Ohio. Located off of Ridge Road this shop specializes in costumes and has a fantastic collection of items for sale and rent. But recently my friend Zap the magician held a five week workshop for anyone interested in magic.

The small group that collected there on Saturday mornings varied greatly in age, say 8 to 88, and there were also a wide level of magic know-how.

If you can't make it to a magic lesson near you, head to the library where videos and books are just waiting to help you with that card trick, disappearing coin, or vanishing rope. Look for books and movies under the call number 793.8. That's Dewey for "Magic".

Oh, and that book on cup and ball tricks....I still have that out.

Nuevos Libros!

Hola amigos! Me llamo Cheryl and I've got news about some new resources at the Amherst Public Library. We've added a small collection of Spanish language reading materials. Multi-linqual families as well as students and home schoolers are always looking for materials to help them retain and learn Spanish. Now we offer some reading materials that go beyond the regular language tapes.
The library has always had a variety of language books to teach different levels of Spanish, Italian, German, French and even Japanese, Chinese, Hungarian....well, as you can see the list goes on and on.

Visit the children's department of the library to check out some of these new titles:

Ramona la Chinche

Scooby-Doo! yel Castillo Hechizado
