Feast on Film!

For the month of November, we've cooked up a delicious video display with flavors for every taste and palate. You may want to start with Breakfast at Tiffany's and sample the Seabiscuit and Beetlejuice. Lunchtime brings the ever popular Marx-mix of Duck Soup with Animal Crackers, perhaps washed down with a nice Manhattan. Those mid-afternoon munchies can be beat with a small serving of Goodbye, Mr. Chips or for our more health conscious patrons, Grapes of Wrath. Dinner is always delightful with Father Goose, seasoned lightly with Rosemary's Baby and just a hint of Basil. A heaping serving of M*A*S*H potatoes and Mr. Bean rounds out this fine meal. For dessert we have your choice of Vanilla Sky or Chocolat and some very nice Tea and Sympathy.

If these movies don't get your attention, then come on over and check out our selection for yourself. Just don't miss our all-you-can-watch buffet display this month!

Judge a book by its cover.

I am sure that many people read the title of this post and assumed it was a typo. The folly of judging a book by its cover is so firmly implanted in our brains that it is hard to believe that a library website would encourage anything else. But this timeless advice is not what our display is about this November. For the next 30 days, every patron of this library has a free pass to judge a book by its cover--or more specifically, the title on the cover.

The books on this month's list have been hand-selected by your librarians because they have had the power with just three or four well-chosen words to stop a browsing reader in his or her tracks. They are able to grab one's attention and curiosity with a witty hook and then reel the reader into the pages to find out what other clever words could be lurking under the cover.
Not sure if you feel right judging a book by its cover, yet? Glance at these titles and then tell me you're not just the slightest bit curious.

Play the ball where the monkey drops it
Teeth in a pickle jar
I dreamed I married Perry Mason
Revenge of the wrought-iron flamingos
Lipstick jihad
The ape and the sushi master
Don't eat this book
Quiche before dying

Henderson County and World War I

In 1918, the Kentucky Council of Defense inaugurated a state-wide movement to make a record of Kentucky's participation and role in the World War. It appointed a State War Historian and local historians in each county. These persons were charged with the duty of collecting and preserving such material as would be of value to the people of the counties and the state, including service records of the men in the army and navy, and records of the activities of the men and women who stood solidly behind the fighting forces and gave their time and labor untiringly to the winning of the war.

Henderson County's War Historian was Miss Virginia Lockett, chairman of the Henderson Woman's Club. Under the direction and supervision of the Kentucky Council of Defense, Miss Lockett compiled 5 volumes of information on Henderson residents involved in the war. These books were donated to the Henderson County Public Library in 1923. Copies of these books are available for browsing and research and a complete name index has been compiled by the Genealogy Department. Click here to see the index of names.
