Where the Red Fern Grows

Take out the tissues for this movie!! The Young Critics Club gave thumbs up to both the movie and the book. Although the movie couldn't include all of the details of the book without making it unbearably long, it kept all the important points. If you have never seen this one, and love animals, it is a must see!

Chef a la New Milford

Our creative chef's vied for the title of Chef a la New Milford on July 16th. Isabelle Morrissey with her Chinese Tower tied for first place with Curtis Makowicki and his Minty Choclit Bunana. Carly Kleinstern ran a close second for her Windmill Wonder a la mode. What a yummy time!!

DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200

Competing for the title of New Milford Monopoly Champion, sixteen participants ran past go to acquire as much wealth as luck and skill would allow in New Milford Public Library's Annual Monopoly Tournament. The tournament was held on July 2, 2008. The grand prize winner was Tyler Plisko with Andre Cardenas coming in Second and Scott Thompson claiming Third Place, with participants Colm Farrell on the right and Chris Sweet on the left.

The Incredible Journey

Summer is moving fast!! The Young Critics Club watched Homeward Bound Monday afternoon and compared it to the book, The Incredible Journey What a surprise!!! The movie got thumbs up as better than the book!! Although the basic plot was the same, there were many differences between the book and the movie that didn't seem to have a logical reason such as name changes for the characters.

Come join us next Monday at 1:30 to watch Where the Red Fern Grows. Books for comparing are available in the Children's room of the library. See you then!!
