International Games Week is an initiative run by volunteers from around the world each November, to reconnect communities through their libraries around the educational, recreational, and social value of all types of games. This month at Westchester Public Library, we are excited to celebrate with our own Game Night at the Library on Friday, November 16, 2018.Drop in to the Hageman Branch from 4:30 - 6:30 PM, or join us at the Thomas Branch for game play from 6:30 - 8:30 PM. This is an event for all ages, including adults, teens, or families with their children.At both locations, we will have a variety of board games set up and ready to play. Players can choose from quick, family-friendly games like checkers or Apples to Apples, as well as longer games for a more mature crowd, such as Archipelago and Exploding Kittens. We will serve cheese, fruit, and crackers to nibble as you play. All attendees may enter to win door prizes at each location. We will be raffling off pre-made Saran Wrap Ball Games full of candy, small toys, and other surprises to play at your next family gathering.This event is also a showcase for WPL’s circulating collection of board games, toys, and puzzles. If you find a game that you like, check it out with your library card and take it home!

When Major Gryffth Hockadayis called to the front lines of the Civil War, his new bride is left to care for her husband’s three-hundred-acre farm and infant son. Placidia, a mere teenager herself living far from her family and completely unprepared to run a farm or raise a child, must endure the darkest days of the war on her own. A love story, a story of racial divide, and a story of the South as it fell in the war, The Second Mrs. Hockaday reveals how that generation--and the next--began to see their world anew.

T h e g r e a t c o u r s e s The Art of Negotiating the Best Deal (CD Book)

Practically everything we do in life involves negotiation. Many important issues—the political future of nations, the scope of business, the purchase of a house—hinge on negotiation. But negotiation is also an integral part of our everyday lives, whether you are resolving a quarrel, creating a family budget, or simply deciding where to eat lunch. Negotiation is a skill that just about everyone can learn and handle common challenges such as these: • Salary negotiations: Few situations are as awkward as salary negotiations when you’re being offered a new job. The employer has the upper hand, but there are reasonable steps you can take to ensure that you are treated fairly and get the going rate for your position. • Sharp tactics: Aggressive negotiators are often not as sharp as they seem, since many rely on standard tricks that are easy to spot—if you know what to look for. • Haggling: Haggling is what many people hate about negotiation. But it’s possible to turn a win/lose confrontation into a mutually satisfying agreement by focusing on the interests of the two sides.Good negotiating goes beyond succeeding in the marketplace; these skills are crucial for solving conflicts of all types. They enable you to do it in ways that enhance rather than strain relationships.

Audrey Hepburn is an icon like no other, yet the image many of us have of Hepburn—dainty, immaculate—is anything but true to life. Here, for the �irst time, Sam Wasson presents the woman behind the little black dress that rocked the nation in 1961. With a colorful cast of characters including Truman Capote, Edith Head, Givenchy, “Moon River” composer Henry Mancini, and, of course, Hepburn herself, Wasson immerses us in the America of the early sixties before Woodstock and birth control, when a not-so-virginal girl by the name of Holly Golightly raised eyebrows across the country, changing fashion, �ilm, and sex for good.

by Delia Owens

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens.

If your Pre-K through 12th grade child is in need of reading help,

this program is for you!

Designed to assist your child with his/her academic reading, the library’s tutoring program offers a safe and welcoming learning environment with

volunteer tutors who will work one-on-one with your child in

half-hour increments.

Student sign-up sheets are available at both libraries

or online.

Patrons interested in volunteering to be tutors may

pick up and return applications at the Circulation desk of either

branch (note interest in tutoring). The coordinator will contact you

to schedule an interview.

Volunteers will be asked to complete the library’s volunteer application, waiver, background

check form, and volunteer confidentiality agreement all

available on the library’s website.

FREE BLOOD PRESSURE & BMI SCREENINGSFree blood pressure & BMI screenings at the Thomas & Hageman Branches of WPL are provided by NorthShore Health Center once a month.
