Working upstairs in Administration at the library means I don’t always have the opportunity to meet everyone, so I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Jessica, and I am the Financial Manager. Once a month I have the privilege of helping out downstairs, which I really do enjoy. I have been working here for just over a year, but because I have been a library fan and patron for almost 15 years, it feels like I’ve been here all along.
The primary reasons for my visits early on were for the wonderful children’s programming. My children were signed up for just about every age-appropriate program possible. I’d get the most current program calendar to see what they could do next! After the program was over, exploring books and puzzles and toys was just another reason they couldn’t wait to get here. And, I’ll be honest, it was a great break for me too! The activities that are currently offered here continue to be outstanding. And though my kids have outgrown the programs that they attended as little ones, (we do still love Silly Safaris! Sign up for the June 2 Silly Safaris "Creatures of the NIGHT" after May 1!) there are great activities in the children’s and teen area for them as they get older.
My mom is another big library fan, and would be the first to tell you that she would not have ever considered the idea that she would enjoy reading books electronically. But because of the great services offered here, she found the joy of virtual book borrowing. She still loves to thumb through the pages of a good book, but now knows she has the best of both worlds. So, from kiddos to grandmas, our library is a treasure for everyone, no matter what age, and continues to be a place where we love to be.

Mary's 50 Documentaries to See Before You Die
Documentaries are my favorite films. When I was a student at IU, I was lucky enough to take a class that focused entirely on the documentary style. It opened me up to a whole new world of entertainment! Last fall, one of my favorite filmmakers, Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me), hosted a show on Current TV called 50 Documentaries to See Before You Die. I was very proud to say that I had seen well over three fourths of the list, and over the past few months have been watching the rest. There were several documentaries that I love that didn’t make the Spurlock list…….so I decided to compile my own “50 Documentaries to See Before You Die” list. And, the great thing is, the library actually has them all!
Check them out!!
Click the links to place things on hold. We'll pull the DVD and have it ready and waiting for you!
So, yes- that’s my list. I highly recommend each of these titles. Let me know if there are any that you feel should be included…..I always love to discover a new great documentary!

10 Outdoor Activities for Children
It’s springtime and what better way to enjoy the weather than to enjoy time outside with your kids! They will soak up that Vitamin D and avoid sitting in front of the video game console for hours.
Here is your to do list:
- Take a nice nature hike or throw a frisbee at one of our many fine parks in Hendricks County.
- Go on a scavenger hunt to see who can spot different items first. For example a flower, a pine cone, a bumblebee, someone walking their dog, a seed, a squirrel, etc.
- Try to construct a house out of 20 items you find outside.
- Find an inspiring location and paint or draw a masterpiece. You could each complete a part of one artwork or make your own individual works of art.
- Discover which trail you like best on a bike ride to the nearest ice cream shop.
- Start a garden. Pick out your favorite fruits and veggies and get planting!
- Play a game or two of HORSE.
- Invite other neighborhood kids to create a sidewalk chalk mural, play hopscotch, or just to play on the swings.
- Make homemade smoothies or popsicles and enjoy them on a sunny day. This website can get you started: http://laurasbestrecipes.com/2010/07/100-homemade-popsicle-recipes.html
- Wait for a windy day and let your kite soar!

The Hunger Games event at Rave!
Who’s excited about the seeing The Hunger Games this week? Personally, I am over the moon about watching the big screen adaptation of the book by Suzanne Collins. I was obsessed with the story when I first read the book and would discuss it at length to anyone who would listen. Would I volunteer as a tribute? My strategy if I were to participate in the Games? Peeta vs. Gale? You name it, I talked about it. Many years after reading the book, I’m still in love with the story. As we get closer to the movie release, it’s hard to find someone that hasn’t heard of the series. Are you planning to see the movie when it comes out on Friday, March, 23rd? If so, the library would like to sweeten the experience!
The Plainfield Public Library will have a table at Rave Motion Pictures in Plainfield on Friday, March 23rd. If you’re there to see the movie between 5-7pm, stop by the table and show your Plainfield library card. You’ll be entered in a drawing for the chance to win one of five different (and awesome) prizes! How cool is that? Good luck, and...

Maureen Loves ALA Book Awards!
On January 23rd, the ALA awards, including the Caldecott, Newbery, and Printz were announced. Because I care a bit too much, I watched the live webcast from Dallas. It was pretty neat to see the reaction from the people in the audience, and all the book lovers watching and tweeting.
Shamefully, I hadn't and haven't read the Newbery winner or either of the Honor books. But I have read four of the five Printz books.
What won:
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whalley
Honor books:
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
The Returning by Christine Hinwood
Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Full disclosure: I may have screamed a little bit when The Returning and The Scorpio Races were announced. Both were among my favorite books of 2011 and I was totally on board with their Honors.
I hadn't read Where Things Come Back at the time of the announcement, but I have now. It's a strong book, well-written and interesting. At the same time, I feel like it has stereotypical Printz winner written all over it. It's contemporary realistic fiction, with a self-aware male narrator and a plot that hints at bad things happening but ultimately resolves tidily.
More disclosure: I'm a huge fantasy fan and I think it's a shame that the Printz award has never gone to a science fiction or fantasy book. You can make a case for last year's Ship Breaker being science fiction, but I don't tend to think of it in that category. (It’s still a fantastic book.) At any rate, here are a few of the books I think could have been Printz contenders, which ultimately weren't honored. And either The Returning or The Scorpio Races could have easily won, in my opinion.
Chime by Franny Billingsley: Billingsley is a sadly under-rated author in my opinion. Chime, her second book, features a strong narrator, a mystery, and the intriguing first line, “I’ve confessed to everything and I’d like to be hanged. Now, if you please.” Briony’s narration might put some readers off a bit, but I found it extremely compelling.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor: This one has been hugely popular since it was published, with good reason. Taylor's writing is effortless and beautiful, and the depiction of Karou's two worlds is amazing. However, it probably suffered from the fact that it was very obviously the first in a series, rather than a stand-alone.
Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson: Johnson has been pretty much a contemporary realistic writer until Name of the Star, which takes a turn for the paranormal. It’s fairly light-hearted, despite the subject matter, but the mystery is wonderfully plotted and the characters are a lot of fun.
Blood Red Road by Moira Young: A gritty dystopia, more along the lines of Patrick Ness’s Knife of Never Letting Go than, say, Divergent or Matched. As with Chime, Blood Red Road features a narration style that not all readers will enjoy. But Saba is a fantastic main character, prickly and tender at the same time.
As I made up this list, I noticed that all of these books have a common thread. They’re mostly first person (Daughter of Smoke and Bone is the exception), by female authors and with female narrators. They’re all some brand of fantasy. So clearly, I have my own biases when it comes to YA books. Still, I think that choosing a book outside the comfortable stereotypes of the Printz award would open up the medal to a new audience.

True Crime: Serial Killers
My curiosity regarding serial killers began during my second semester at Marian College in 2004. I was taking a speech class and we all were given an assignment where we were to present an informational speech. I had recently read an article on a serial killer who had been captured in Asia that had both chilled and fascinated me. So, without much thought as to what I might discover, I signed up to research and present a speech on serial killers.
I began my research on serial killers on www.crimelibrary.com. The website had an entire section just for serial killers and I went through page after page reading about the horrible deeds these people committed. After finding out about some of the more well-known serial killers, I searched for books at the library. I was thankful that the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library had a large true crime section. I checked out the book My Life Among the Serial Killers by Helen Morrison, M.D. The book is written by a forensic psychiatrist who interviewed and profiled more than eighty serial killers, all the way from John Wayne Gacy, to Ed Gein to Richard Macek.
I was chilled by the stories I read, but also strangely pulled in. It was difficult for me to believe that we walk this earth with people who are capable of such horrible actions. After my speech I found myself continuing to read books and do research on serial killers. Last year I read Erik Laron’s Devil in the White City, a novel about the infamous serial killer H. H. Holmes who killed dozens of fairgoers during Chicago’s 1893 World Fair. Recently I read I, Monster by Tom Philbin. This book is by far the most unnerving book about serial killers I have read, as nearly all of it is pieces of writing from actual serial killers. At one point while reading the book I hid it in my car while I slept at night. It really shook me up.
Now, just to set the record straight: I read other things besides books about serial killers. I am a non-fiction fan, so true life stories are always calling my name. Several people know about my strange serial killer curiosity and joke about it with me. I am sure I am not the only person on this earth who finds this topic interesting.

Straight No Chaser
Check out Indiana’s own Straight No Chaser:
They started out on the campus of IU (I will not hold a grudge as I am a Purdue graduate!) and with growing popularity have now been featured in the 2011 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and made other national TV appearances! If you are into A capella sounds, this group is worth a listen. They have a soft, smooth sound with a variety of slow and fast tracks. I like that they have their own unique take on songs that are already popular. One of my favorite songs is a comedic version of the classic Twelve Days of Christmas as presented in the video below:
On a side note, while researching the correct spelling of A capella there are apparently a wide variety of opinions. See for yourself at www.singers.com/a-cappella.html. You can chose which you think is correct!

Thank You, Barnes & Noble!
Barnes & Noble has been a great supporter of the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library throughout the past several years. They donated overstocked books to the library as well as Plainfield’s Kids’ Summer Lunch Bunch at Franklin Park and Gladden Farms. In November of 2011 the library partnered with the notable bookstore on Black Friday to raise money for the library, too.
Most recently Barnes & Noble chose the library as the recipient of its annual Holiday Fundraiser where customers purchase books for the library. The library received over 1,150 brand new books to add to the collection! We were so overwhelmed by the donation from the bookstore and the community. As a thank-you we took the cards from the books and put them on display in the windows of our library for everyone to see. Come check it out!
