Author visit on Saturday was a success!
In this photograph, INFINITY AND ME author Kate Hosford is making the symbol for infinity with the audience. That’s why they are all moving their hands in a sideways eight shape.
The other photo shows a family from the Bronx who were thrilled to meet a real live author. Several other families also requested photos with Kate. She told me that she doesn’t usually enjoy such a celebrity status at other readings. “In Park Slope, meeting an author is not such big news for those children.” Here in Corona, our local and visiting families really appreciate the chance to meet one up close.
We are so happy that we had the opportunity to make this happen!
“Is infinity a number that grows forever? Is it an endlesss racetrack?”
Kate Hosford, a former elementary school teacher was at New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) on April 20th to talk about her book Infinity and Me. This book offers both a great and fun way to introduce the concept of infinity to younger audiences.

New books in our library. May we suggest that you stop by and peruse a few?
Our webmistress, Rebecca C., stops by the library to read with her son Nico. He loves to read and to chew our substantial collection of board books. Any time Nico!
Curious how famous people laid claim to their libraries? These lovely inserts not only indicate a book’s provenance, but they often reflect the owner’s personality. Ranging from silent movie stars to presidents, here are examples of ex libris from the historical elite. Go here.
