A Note from the Director: 
 
 
 
Well, here we are in November, and somehow I've officially made it through my first year as Director of the Bellaire Public Library!
What a wonderful year it has been! I've learned more than I ever imagined I needed to know about running a library. Budgets, policies, technology, building maintenance... and somewhere in between, we even managed to talk about books!
All kidding aside, as I look back over this past year, one thing stands out above everything else: the people.
Our amazing staff made my move into the Director's chair feel almost seamless. Their knowledge, dedication, flexibility, and willingness to jump in wherever needed continue to amaze me. So much of what they do happens behind the scenes, and I'm incredibly grateful to work alongside them.
And our community! The encouragement, support, and genuine love for this library have been incredible. From our patrons and program participants to our volunteers, Friends, and Board of Trustees, you've all helped make this first year something special.
I certainly don't have everything figured out yet (and I'm beginning to suspect that's just part of the job!), but I'm excited about where we're headed!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it seems like the perfect time to say thank you for making the Bellaire Public Library such a wonderful part of our community.
Here's to another year of learning, growing, and connecting our community one story at a time!

A Few Little-Known Facts from the Stacks!

Speaking of stories, libraries have a few interesting ones of their own! Here are a few fun facts you might not know.
 
Did you know?
  • Books used to be chained to shelves! In some early libraries, books were so valuable they were actually chained to shelves or reading desks. You could read them, but you certainly weren't taking them home for the weekend!
  • A book doesn't have to be old to be removed from a library! Libraries regularly review their collections to make room for new titles, replace worn copies, and keep information current. It's called weeding, and yes, it's an actual library term! No gardening gloves required!
  • That old-book smell has a little science behind it! The familiar scent comes from compounds released as paper, glue, and other book materials age. There's even a word for that wonderful smell: bibliosmia!
  • Libraries are about more than books! From technology help to community programs and everything in between, there's always more happening behind the scenes than you might imagine. Just ask a library director who's wrapping up her first year!
Next time you're in the Bellaire Public Library, take a little time to explore beyond the bookshelves. Stop in for a program, discover something new, or just say hello. There's always something happening here, and we'd love to see you!

Nikki’s Book Recommendation Corner
 
Whistler by Ann Patchett

    This year we have been so lucky to have lots of beloved authors come out with new novels: Ann Patchett, Barbara Kingsolver, Maggie O’Farrell, Bonnie Garmus, Louise Penny, Sarah J. Maas, Jodi Picoult, Daniel Mason, Bonnie Jo Campbell, Tayari Jones, John Green, Min Jin Lee, Emily St. John Mandel, Elizabeth Strout, I could go on and on. These are authors that don’t crank out new books as quickly as others. I get giddy when I see a new book is on the way by someone like Ann Patchett. We hold these writers in such high regard because of their prowess. Their work has moved us throughout the years and we’ve eagerly recommended it to our friends and acquaintances. But I’ve noticed a different trend when I ask folks what they thought about some of these new titles. A lot of the responses aren’t very enthusiastic and I wonder, why? Are we expecting something specific from these individuals because of their previous novels, and they didn’t scratch that itch this time? Are we setting unobtainable expectations? Is it just fun to critique popular artists? Are our attention spans getting shorter and weaker so we need more stimulation than we used to? I’m not totally sure what the answer is, but I doubt all these authors suddenly became second rate writers. I know I’m having a hard time being drawn into books. I’m distracted by 100 other things around me. I’ve been reluctant to even start some of the books I was so looking forward to because of the lukewarm response I’ve seen about them, and I'm not sure that’s fair. Anyway, this isn't a judgement, it's just an observation that I found interesting. I guess I’m also writing this to encourage you to stick with long form reading and keep an open mind, even if your favorite authors don’t hit a home run every time.
    Whistler is one of the books that people have brought back to the library with a “meh” attitude. I can understand why, it isn’t flashy and there isn’t anything terribly scandalous in it. Lucky for me my favorite genre is quiet, realistic fiction. Patchett is a master at showing the complexity of families. This has one of my now favorite characters of all time, Eddie. I love how Eddie’s calm, quiet love left such a huge impression on Daphne. She was pretty young and he wasn’t around for long, but his steady presence impacted her for the rest of her life. 
This story highlights how being kind, taking care of those we love, and showing respect to even the littlest people among us is formative. Daphne felt seen and trusted by him.
    As a parent it made me realize that it’s the little moments that mean the most for kids. Also that as adults we make mistakes, but it’s the how we handle accidents that happen in life that will make an impression. This book shows how it’s not always the blood relative that helps build who you are as a human. Genetics aren't the only thing that shapes lives, it is more complicated than that. I recommend curling up with this book. It’s an ode to storytelling and how stories can help us through difficult situations. I know I’m grateful for them and those that share theirs with us.

Miss Wolcott's Ghost by Louise Penny
Miss Wolcott's Ghost
by Louise Penny

Armand Gamache returns There's a body in Lost Nation. Where? demands Armand as he scribbles on the pad by his bed. But the line goes dead before Chief Inspector Gamache can question the caller. The head of homicide for the S ret du Qu bec has no idea where Lost Nation is, or who woke him in the small hours of the morning at his home in Three Pines. What he does know is that the man was terrified. And so Armand is thrust out of a deep sleep and into the surrounding forests in search of the mythical Lost Nation. And a body. When he and his team of Jean-Guy Beauvoir and Isabelle Lacoste find both, the situation only grows more bizarre. The unidentified dead man appears to be from an era more than a century old. He's lying in a long-abandoned cemetery, on top of a grave with a date, but no name. Adding to the mystery, the early morning call appears to have come from Gamache's friend and neighbor, Clara Morrow. While she denies any knowledge of it, it becomes clear there is some connection between her, the Morrow family, and Lost Nation. Soon, Gamache and his team are faced with tracking down not just the legend of Lost Nation, but a lost ship, lost documents belong to an eccentric Victorian botanist, and a mysterious plant not seen in a century, that might save, or take, countless lives. As the murder investigation deepens, nightmarish spectres from the past begin to haunt the S ret officers, only heightened by the appearance of one of Gamache's former and now disgraced proteges, with whom he must form an uneasy alliance. As the ghosts begin to gather, Gamache, Beauvoir, and Lacoste, with the help of Reine-Marie, Clara, and the other villagers of Three Pines, realize that the body on the grave is far from the only death. To solve the crime and avert catastrophe they must look to rancid secrets and old lies no longer dead and buried.
How Can I Help?: Saving Nature with Your Yard
by Douglas W. Tallamy

Interest in landscaping with native plants is at an all-time high, largely thanks to the work of Doug Tallamy. Hundreds of thousands of people have read his books and attended his nationwide lectures over the years. Yet, despite their familiarity with Tallamy's subjects, they still have excellent questions. Here, we get compelling and actionable answers from the man himself on the topics of his expertise: ecology/ evolution, biodiversity, conservation, restoration, native plants, oaks, invasive species, pest control, home landscapes, and supporting wildlife at home--
How Can I Help?: Saving Nature with Your Yard by Douglas W. Tallamy
Hollywood, Ending by John Green
Hollywood, Ending
by John Green

For rising talents Kai Laramie and Juniper Castillo, being cast in the buzzy biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old is the opportunity they've both been waiting for. They're on the verge of breaking out, and maybe even falling in love. Soon, the movie is blowing up, and so are their lives--in exciting, but also terrifying, ways. John Green artfully blends a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story with an unflinching examination of the insatiable attention economy. Told through dual points of view, the novel brilliantly juxtaposes the on-screen study of Warhol's life at the dawn of celebrity culture with the intimate struggles of two young people figuring out who they are, both together and alone. Tender, heartbreaking, and shrewdly funny, this is a story as only Green can tell it. Hollywood, Ending is a deeply observed novel about the tension between a public and a private life, and the audacity to pursue the kind of love we all deserve.
Peck & Peck
by Bonnie Garmus

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of global sensation Lessons in Chemistry returns with an irresistible, delightful, and tender literary novel set in the publishing world of 1980s New York City about a young man whose life turns upside down when he is hired by the most prestigious, secretive, and dysfunctional poetry journal in the world: the renowned Peck & Peck. Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest. It's 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, muggings are in the streets, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants--an ear for poetry--is worried about his future. While all of his friends have real jobs, he's folding T-shirts at the Gap. As for love? No. Not unless you count Sallie Mae, the student loan tyrant. He hears from Sallie all the time. But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck & Peck, the most prestigious poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon Batter is knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers--twins and enemies--as well as being privy to the private affairs of their thirty-nine editors, whose professed mission is the same: Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest. And by burn, they mean incinerate. Because at Peck & Peck, good isn't good enough, interesting doesn't cut it, plagiarists aren't tolerated, and parolees run the mailroom. Still want to submit your poem? Go with God. Welcome to another dazzling and unforgettable novel from Bonnie Garmus. If you loved Lessons in Chemistry, you will love Peck & Peck.
Peck & Peck by Bonnie Garmus
American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee
American Hagwon
by Min Jin Lee

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko returns with a breathtaking contemporary epic: a masterpiece by turns sweeping and intimate, that reckons with ambition and moderation, lust and loyalty, personal dreams and familial duty. Min Jin Lee brings grand ambition, fierce heart, and the tenderest hope to a novel I didn't want to end. --Roxane Gay, bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger In schools and churches, hotel rooms and nail salons, law firms and fried-fish shops; in cramped, dingy apartments and luxury, gated communities, the men, women, and children in American Hagwon struggle to find satisfaction and meaning in a world that seems to grow less forgiving with each passing year. Once comfortably middle class in Korea, John and Helen Koh and their three children--Bo, DH, and Mido--find their lives upended, first by a shocking betrayal by John's oldest friend, then by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Desperately striving to regain their footing, they leave Seoul for Sydney and eventually settle in Southern California--where new vistas of opportunity open up for the children as their parents, strangers in a strange land, must adjust to a new life in which their experience and education mean little, and they set their sights on whatever it takes to provide for their children's futures. The Kohs, their friends, relatives, and even their foes move in and out of each other's lives as they navigate new courses across the years, always nursing the almost all-consuming faith that education will lead the next generation to success and security. In American Hagwon, Min Jin Lee has crafted an unforgettable, panoramic novel where the smallest of gestures can have enormous repercussions, where the bonds of family and of memory twist and fray but rarely break, and where willful self-sacrifice--for the benefit of loved ones and even strangers--is a kind of prayer. An immersive, engrossing novel ... this is panorama told in brilliant detail.--Colm T ib n, bestselling author ofLong IslandandBrooklyn
Exit Party
by Emily St John Mandel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The award-winning, bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility returns with a breathtaking novel of doubles, shadow worlds, and fractured timelines as a man disappears from a glittering Los Angeles party, and a woman--a gunrunner, an art collector, an operative of the State--searches for answers. The only world-builder more efficient than Mandel may be God. . . . Exit Party is the kind of novel you'll be desperate to talk about. --Ron Charles Los Angeles, 2031: The first spring after the collapse of the United States, peacekeeping troops withdraw from the city, the Jacaranda trees blossom, and the curfew is finally lifted. Ari Waker and her roommate pass the gauntlet of bomb-sniffing dogs, the shanty towns, and the Red Cross tents as they walk across Silverlake to a party. The mood is ecstatic inside the apartment, people drink and dance, a woman wears a silver dress, pleated like tinfoil. And then: A shift. A bewildered twin, an uncanny doppelganger stumbles through the crowd and out into the night, and Kareem, the party's host, vanishes into thin air. As Ari Waker unravels the mystery of this inexplicable night, Emily St. John Mandel unfurls a story that takes us from a future America splintered by civil war to the seaside cliffs of Greece where weapons dealers hide in an elegant resort, and from the domed city of Paris to a colony on the moon. An unforgettable literary feat, Exit Party is a novel about the price of safety, the perils of the surveillance state, a requiem for a world not unlike our own, and a breathtaking story of resilience in the face of cataclysmic change.
Exit Party by Emily St John Mandel
Partita by Barbara Kingsolver
Partita
by Barbara Kingsolver

Livia Cable has made her peace with her marriage and modest livelihood in the farm country where she grew up, until a shocking phone call from an old lover shakes her to the core. Decades earlier, this man knew her as Livia Bohusz, a music conservatory student estranged from her home and family, uncertain of anything except her passion for music and promise as an extraordinary pianist. His request, now, to see her again stirs up ghosts she's kept at bay for a lifetime.Shifting between past and present, Livia's decision to meet or reject the reunion means confronting step by step, in memories framed as musical dances, the experiences of childhood loss, abandonment, self-immolating passion, and perilous attachment to a man who broke her belief in love and ruptured the course of her life.With razor-sharp acuity and deep affection, Kingsolver's unforgettable new novel reflects on class barriers, the risks of ambition, and the timeless, life-changing power of art.
Oak: The Littlest Leaf Girl: (A Heartwarming Autumn Picture Book about Handling Change and New Beginnings - For Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Kids Ages
by Lucy Fleming

High up in the leafy branches of a tree lives a leaf girl named Oak and her family. Oak loves nothing more than playing with her animal friends of the forest--dancing with Squirrel and holding toadstool tea parties with the bumbling bugs. But as the season begins to change, and a slight chill fills the air, the usual bustle of the tree begins to slow. As winter approaches and the family prepares to make their annual move from the tree to an acorn on the forest floor, Oak doesn't feel ready to leave and stubbornly clings to her branch. But soon the glowing light from the acorn below beckons, and she realizes that change is just an opportunity for new adventures--and that the meaning of home is wherever loved ones are--
