They make people feel elevated, comfortable, and social.” William M. Brown “Future-Proof Design” 2008 This is a fine sentiment that we, the Library Board, take very seriously. The goal of being a “loveable library” is something the Mattituck-Laurel Library strives for each and every day. Not only do we want you to use the library, but we want you to return to it with your family members, friends, and neighbors. We want you to take proud ownership of your community library and feel at home whenever you visit. The time of year is fast approaching when we ask you to show your love and support for the library by approving the proposed operating budget increase for 2011. The minimal increase of 2.9% translates to a tax increase of $12.40 (based on a home with the average assessment of $8,000). This will allow the Library to continue its current operation with modest growth in services and programs. Any questions about the proposed budget can be directed to Library Director, Kay Zegel or you may attend the Budget Information Meeting on Monday, September 13th at 7:00 p.m. The Budget Vote will be held on Tuesday, September 28th 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. At that time voting will also take place for two Library Board members. 2010 2011 Mattituck-Cutchogue School District 1,160,544 1,194,736 1,300 1,500 NYS Incentive Operating Account 150 150 Direct Public Support 1,500 1,300 Fines 16,500 17,000 TOTAL INCOME 1,180,194 1,214,486 DISBURSEMENTS Personnel Costs Library Materials Capital Expenditures Technology Operations & Maintenance Misc.

November: "In and Around the North Fork: a continuing romance between a photographer and the north fork of the Isle of Long" – Photographs by Steve Berger Jamesport photographer, Steve Berger, began taking pictures when he was fourteen years old in his hometown of Atlantic City, N.J. He says, “I have been photographing out here for over 15 years. I am as excited about it now as when I began. The light is outstanding and always shows me new subjects and old subjects in a new light. I don't think I'll ever get tired of capturing images here.” Mr. Berger is generously donating one of his photographs to raise funds at the Friends’ November Art Raffle. An Artist’s Reception will be held on Sunday, November 7th, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Call for artists: If you wish to exhibit your artwork at the Mattituck-Laurel Library, please contact Gallery Coordinator, Diana Foster, at 631-298-4134 ext. 26.

Auditorium In the Gallery “In and Around the North Fork” – Photographs by Steve Berger Fall 2010 Bev’s Book Beat The smallest bookstore still contains more ideas of worth than have been presented in the entire history of television~~Andrew Ross The summer days are counting down, fall is in the air. As the days grow shorter, I say start stocking up on books. This is the beginning of staying inside more and sitting in front of the TV. Sometimes a pretty good TV series can come from a book. When it works, a TV series can create interest in the author and books, and sometimes the books can create interest in the TV series. With that in mind, this article will give you an idea of the book to TV connection, and vice versa. Here are just a few . . . Been enjoying True Blood on HBO? Getting to know Sookie and her collection of buddies…vampires, were- animals and shapeshifters that have “outed” themselves to make it easier for them to be accepted by humans. The books, by Charlaine Harris, began with Death Until Dark and the series is up to book ten, Dead in the Family. I had fun reading the books and enjoy the series. Friday Night Lights on NBC is from a non-fiction book by H. G. Bissinger, Friday Night Lights: a town, a team and a dream. Bissinger spent a year with a high school football team from Odessa, Texas, We see people at their best and worst as we get to know the team and the town. The TV show does an amazing job of bringing the book to life and staying (almost) true to the book. I loved the book, and the series is well done. Alexander McCall Smith had a hit when he introduced Mma Precious Ramotswe in The #1 Ladies Detective Agency in 1998. Since then he has written eleven more books in the series. HBO and the BBC both aired the TV series that was shot in Botswana which is where the books take place. The series has been a hit with our patrons who cannot wait for the next installment. The books give a great description of Botswana and the people who live there and the TV series shows the beauty of Botswana and does a great job of bringing the books to the small screen. Dexter! Yes yes, Dexter. I love Dexter. Jeff Lindsay writes one of the quirkier series I have read beginning with the first book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Here we have a vigilante serial killer who works for the police. Dexter has his own code and just kills those that warrant it. Both the books and the TV series are wickedly entertaining, cleverly done, and so sardonic–I love both! Book four in the series came out in June so you can catch up pretty quick. This is a great series of books and a great series on Showtime. James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club was on ABC for too short a time. I thought it had potential; a series about four women who come together, form friendships, use their expertise and skills to solve murder. The TV series stayed true to the books–boo to ABC for not giving this series a chance to grow. Patterson kicked this series off with 1st to Die and the latest just came out, 9th Judgment. If you like police procedurals, this is a good one to get involved in and follow. Tess Gerritson has a series of books with lead characters Detective Jane Rizzoli, and Medical Examiner Maura Isles. Set in September: Ape House by Sara Gruen Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks Promise Me by Nancy G. Brinker (sister of Susan G. Komen) Don’t Blink by James Patterson Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich Portobello by Ruth Rendell Forever Young & introducing the Metabolic Diet by Nicholas Perricone Bad Blood by John Sandford Naked Heat by Richard Castle Book Discussions Boston, these two are friends outside the job as well as on the job. They were introduced in Gerritsons’ first book, The Surgeon. Her books are always a good read and will keep you wanting to turn the page. The new TV series, Rizzoli & Isles started in July on TNT. I liked the series, it always helps when the actors playing the roles fit what you picture when you read the books. Gerritsen is up to book eight in this series. Other books to TV series to keep in mind: Bones, on FOX, is based on the crime novel series by Kathy Reichs. (Which is loosely based on Reichs’ life.) Vampire Diaries, on CW, is based on the teen/supernatural series by L.J. Smith. The underbelly of a small town exposed! I’m always a sucker for a vampire series. James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small series on PBS. Love this series, the books and the show. Laugh, cry and just wish that you were there. Inspector Morse series on PBS. Colin Dexter shows us a middle-aged upper-class Englishman at his best. I don’t think anyone does a better job of setting up murder mystery and mayhem than the British. Which brings me to another of my favorites– Rumpole of the Bailey by John Mortimer! If you haven’t seen this series, check it out and watch Rumpole’s brilliant courtroom action. Eccentric law barrister Rumpole loves the courtroom and believes deeply in the presumption of innocence even if not all of his clients are happy to be found innocent . . . read the books, watch the series. Good stuff. Little House on the Prairie by Laurie Ingalls Wilder. The series that made kids want to read! Wilders’ memories of growing up on the prairie in Minnesota during the late 1870’s-1880’s doesn’t get any better than this. I know my kids loved the series and the books and would have loved to have been there! Robert B. Parker’s Spenser and Jesse Stone series–for me, the Jesse Stone series stays closer to the books, or maybe it’s because I like Tom Selleck. Of the two series based on Spenser, I liked the A&E one with Joe Mantegna. I thought Mantegna nailed Spenser and fit my image of him. (Sorry Robert Urich) Granddaddy of them all . . . Perry Mason series by Erle Stanley Gardner, with the one and only Raymond Burr. That was a “can’t miss” night of TV for me, and what a great series of books! I know there are many more, but I had to narrow it down! Not many TV series become books, but here are just a few: If you enjoy the series Castle on ABC like I do, you know the main character is a novelist. Castle talks about “his book coming out” during the series and yes, “his” book did come out at the end of the series, Heat Wave. Castle’s new book, Naked Heat, will be out in September. I like the TV-to-book connection. There haven't been many too many others, but the Jessica Fletcher; Murder She Wrote and Columbo spring to mind as series that books came from. Please be advised that at no point do I advocate the TV series over the book. I always opt for the book! October: The Confession by John Grisham In the Still of Night by Ann Rule The Reversal by Michael Connelly (Mickey Haller and Detective Harry Bosch together!) American Assassin by Vince Flynn Worth Dying For by Lee Child The Woman I Was Born to Be by Susan Boyle Scarlet Nights (Book #3) by Jude Deveraux In the Company of Others by Jan Karon (Father Tim #2) The 39 Clues by Rick Riordan November: Port Mortuary by Patricia Cornwell Cross Fire (Alex Cross #17) by James Patterson Full Dark, No Stars by Stephan King Indulgence in Death by J.D. Robb Edge by Jeffery Deaver Distant Hours by Kate Morton Athena Project by Brad Thor Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 7 p.m. Bel Canto by Ann Patchett South America, politics, terrorists, intrigue . . . makes for a great book discussion! Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 7pm The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot Non-fiction account of how Henrietta Lacks became one of the most important tools in medicine in 1950. Lacks’ human cells were used to develop the polio vaccine and are still used today for medical discoveries–a fascinating book about medical and scientific research. Like to read a book series?

One of the most pleasant duties in the Friends annual calendar is reviewing the scholarship applications of graduating Mattituck High School students. Many refer to their experiences at the Library from their earliest ages, others share some special meaning that the Library has had in their development. We are always happy to read about the Library from the point of view of these young adults! In June, Young Adult Librarian Lynn Maaiki represented the Friends at the High School's Awards Night and surprised the following students who were awarded Friends scholarships: Angela Sidlauskas and Claire Smith ($500 each); Zachary Palladino, Catherine Austin, Janene Curtis and Alexis Gaydosik ($300 each); Daniel Letteriello and Laura Stakey ($100 each). Look for Friends’ Booksales on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. in the lower level of the Library. Congratulations to this year’s Friends’ Scholarship winners! Children’s Book Cottage: Hunt House Refurbished The newly painted and rehabbed Children’s Book Cottage was open this summer for youngest Library users to choose used books. Thanks to expert designers and refurbishers Joan Wrynn, Joan Sawicki, Ellen Schultheis, Heather Sluyters and a special thanks to Sue Auer for spear-heading this project. We are also grateful to Orlowski Hardware for donating paint and materials. The Sluyters kids once again took responsibility for opening and closing the building and this year they shared the schedule with the Library's Teen Volunteers. Giant thanks to Sophia Sluyters, Jackie Imbriano, Melissa Hickox, Brette Rosen, and Cordelia Larson. (Teens: Looking ahead to next summer: this is a great community service activity!) Newport Flower Show Trip Newport Flower Show Trip was a real highlight for the second year. Fifty North Forkers traveled to Rhode Island by Sea Jet and bus on a brilliant June day. Everyone toured The Elms and strolled the beautiful Rosecliff gardens which stretch to the ocean and browsed (or shopped) the many boutiques and gardeners' markets. Inside Rosecliff were rooms filled with the prize-winning Africa-themed arrangements. You can see what a happy group we were. Speaking of BOOKS, your purchase of books in the Lobby and at the monthly Book Sales has become a significant contribution to the Friends annual budget. None of it would happen without the indefatigable Betsy Richards and Betty Grenham and a group of sorters and sellers who work almost every week to handle the flow of donated books. At the Friends Annual Meeting . . . • New officers elected were: Vice President Margaret Rodgers and Treasurer Trina Waldron. Dorothy Bauman is “shadowing” longterm Membership Chair Virginia Neville and will officially take over those duties in the fall. • An operating budget for year 2010-11 was adopted and plans made for upcoming events sponsored by the Friends. • Check the Library's website, www.mattlibrary.org for the latest news on trips and Friends’ happenings. • In the spirit of this year's push for active members and volunteers, Dorothy Bauman, Margaret Rodgers and Joan Carney stood under the new Friends banner to greet parents and children registering on July 1st for the summer program and encourage them to join the Friends. In addition to some delightful conversations, a number of young parents volunteered their e-mail addresses so that they can be reached for help on specific activities. Please be sure to include your e-mail address when you return your membership form and let us know where you’d like to volunteer. A Special Note of Thanks to Hank Kuhn for establishing and maintaining the Friends’ e-mail list for so many years. It has been (and will continue to be) a great way to get the word out!
