Social Committee Library Committee Fall is here, including cooler temperatures interspersed with some lingering warmer ones. You might even think of this month as the beginning of the holiday season with residents getting ready to celebrate Halloween at the end of the month. You may, also, have noticed that fall and winter puzzles, including appropriate holiday ones, have reappeared on the shelves of the puzzle cabinets in the computer room for your enjoyment. Your Four Seasons Library is always ready for your visit, no matter the season. Do you enjoy paging through magazines? Our lone magazine rack has been quite well stocked the past several months. e magazines are all donated by your friends and neighbors. In years past, many of us have had multiple magazine subscriptions at home. While that's not as true anymore, they are still enjoyed by many of our residents. Because of limited space for magazines, we do our best to display the most recent issues — three months for the monthly magazines and one month for those published weekly. Older issues may, also, appear on the rack if the overall number of magazines is low at a particular time. While we strongly encourage you to enjoy reading the magazines while in the library, some residents like to take them home to read there, especially for family members who are bedridden or don't get out and about the neighborhood easily. We simply ask that the magazines be returned as soon as possible for others to enjoy. Have you checked out the revolving bookcase to the le of the paperbacks on the right side of the library for the Resident Authors' Books? ey have pink dots on their spines and are arranged alphabetically by the author's last name — Gerald Berns, Vernita Black, Mary Bowe, Nathan Church, Patrick Timothy Day, Sherri Domenigoni, Howard Feigenbaum, Roberta Feigenbaum (CDs of music composed by this Resident Composer), Charles Forsyth, James Hitt, Vicki Hitt, H.F. Jeerson, Cydnei Laird, Paul O'Neill, Pat Rotisky, Alison Sanders, Lynne Spreen, and Ellyn Wolfe. Some of the larger-sized books are displayed on the end table nearest the revolving bookcase. Photographs of some of our authors are displayed on the top shelf of the le-hand wall bookcases. We look forward to identifying more Resident Authors, displaying their work, and featuring them in Authors' Talks. We thank Sherri Domenigoni for speaking in September about "Getting Started on Family History Memoirs." Come visit! ~ Betty Crase
