Throwback Thursday: Here's a gem of a library book from 1981! "As people become more concerned about the energy crisis, it's possible we will decide we need fewer machines, not more machines. The computer might even become extinct, like the dinosaur." (pg 98)

Happy Halloween! What's your favorite candy? Personally, I can just say no to candy corn (but Reece's Peanut Butter cups ROCK in case you want to treat your favorite librarian!). Mental Floss gives us the history of candy corn in this article: https://t.co/NimLEvJAlU

October is National Pizza Month! Tell us what toppings are a must and which ones are a bust. Pineapple, I 'm talking about you! Lombardi's in NYC was the first pizzeria in the US. They opened in 1905. Pizzerias became popular after WWII and now almost every town has one!
