Three at Sixteen Each

The Holiday Mini-Sale is over. Thank you to patrons for the wonderful support! We're ready to go back to directing your attention to truly unique finds that we have posted at our Amazon storefront.

Evolving European Defense Policies by Catherine Kelleher seems to be the kind of book that someone working on a graduate degree in defense studies might need. Truly a niche book, it might just be the missing link for research purposes. We have it for $16 on our Amazon1 site.

Europe's Future, edited by Stephen J. Flanagan, ties in directly with the book above, or each can stand alone. This is also $16 on our Amazon1 site.

And for something different, try this one at $16 at Amazon1, City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem.  Written by a former deputy mayor of the city, the book explores the social, political and historical twists that make this city so unique to Jews, Muslims and Christians.

Current Friends can get these books locally, saving on the shipping costs. Not a Friend? That is easy to remedy. Click on the sidebar to go to a membership form.  Print, add a check, mail, and in no time, you'll be one of us! We can't wait to get you on board!

Current Friends should be watching their USPS mail for a special event at Barnes & Noble in Reston. More on that tomorrow.

Juggling Books and Life

As part of our continuing support for the Reston Regional Library, in July 2008 the Friends of Reston Regional Library underwrote a family program called "The Nicolo Whimsey Show."  The juggler was funny, engaging, and extremely talented.  Children of all ages enjoyed him.  As you can tell from the photos, it wasn't just a show to watch -- it was a show to DO!  You can hire Nicolo Whimsey for your own show by going to his website here.

We hope you enjoy these photos from the day. Maybe seeing the kids in shorts and t-shirts will make you feel warm on this very brisk day!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

...you should be on hand to see what's here! If you have a list of friends or family that you're purchasing gifts for this holiday season, bring it to Reston Regional Library during regular library hours and see if you can't find just the perfect gift! If books aren't their thing, check the display case! There is a variety of non-book items that make very nice gifts.

Book Sale Chair Charly says

 "Happy Holidays!"

While the Holiday Sale is going on, our Amazon1 and Amazon2 sites are still very active. They're easier to visit - just click on their highlighted names. On Amazon1 right now we have a plethora of "police officer" books.  These appear to be part of a professional collection that has been disbanded. Everything from martial arts for police officers to interview techniques. If you have a security officer of any kind in your family, this is worth checking out!

On Amazon2 we have two boxed sets of "The Legend of Drizzt" as well as "The Cream of Tank Girl". If those titles resonate with you, you might want to click Amazon2 to see them!

Remember, current Friends of Reston Regional Library can get these books exclusive of shipping. Just e-mail us.

Not a member? That's easy to remedy! Just click here to be taken to a membership form that you can fill out and mail in to us.

Hope to see you at the Holiday Sale! If you don't get there today, do not miss tomorrow -- at the same time you can enjoy the Holiday open house hosted by the Branch Manager, Nadia Taran, from 1-3 at the library. Come get into the mood of the season!
