Books Alive! actress on stage tonight!
 Tonight's the night - Jillian Landsman, a Books Alive! children's theater company alumna, will be among the talent showcased in 90 Miles Off Broadway's production of David and Lisa.
The play centers around two mentally disturbed adolescents and their time at Berkeley School. It will be performed at the Reformed Church of New Paltz tonight, tomorrow, and Nov. 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m., and on Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for seniors, students, and advance sales, and $10 for members and groups. They're available at the door, or by calling Kim at Bright Beginnings at 256-9657.
The show's adult themes, language, and one violent scene may make it inappropriate for certain age groups - parents should use their discretion.
Jillian has the role of Sandra in the play, but she won't be the only local talent on the stage...her mother, Marla - who former Story Timers might remember as Miss Marla - has been cast in the play, as well! She'll be playing the Secretary and Mother of Girl.
We wish the both of them luck!

Stay tuned for Snowman Snowday......
 Ready for the snow?
The Wallkill Public Library is (although we don't know when it's coming)...
This season, the library is planning to gather family and friends for some fun on the library lawn during Snowman Snowday. All we need is the first significant snowfall of the season, then we'll announced the event via email, Facebook, and on our website.
Join us that day to build a snowman, play games, and drink hot chocolate. If the weather's so bad that you can't make it, stay home and take a picture of your own snowman, then send us a copy - your snow sculpture might be featured on our website or Facebook page!
It's at least one reason to look forward to the winter weather!
