Slight adjustment brings totality to Larchmont
It took moving Heaven and Earth, literally, but the Library has arranged that the Path of Totality for the April 8 eclipse is adjusted to the south slightly. Now Larchmonters will see the Moon cover the Sun entirely instead of just the 90% originally predicted. “We had so many people come to the Library’s front lawn to watch the 2017 eclipse, and it was only 70%. We wanted to really wow them this time,” said Library Director Laura Eckley. Read More Read More
Simple adjustment saves Hold Shelf!
The Library has dropped the first letter from some patron’s last names. These patrons, whose last name formerly began with the letters M or S, are now in the first half of the alphabet (A – K). This change addressed a dangerous unbalance on the Hold Shelf where the number of patrons whose last name begins with a letter in the first half of the alphabet (A through K) were far outnumbered by those in the back half (L through Z). This uneven distribution of names caused an uneven distribution of the weight of the total books on the Holds Shelf.Read More Read More
Trivia Team Finds Fault with Friends
A trivia team’s refusal to accept the results of the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library‘s Trivia Contest last year may jeopardize this year’s event on April 4. The dispute began with the tie-breaking question, “Who was the first man on the moon?” The winning team answered Neil Armstrong. The losing team protested, stating there was no correct answer because no one has ever landed on the Moon. “Everyone knows the Moon landing was faked. NASA knew it was impossible, so they hired Stanley Kubrick to make it look good,” said Trivia Loser and Head of Reference Liam Hegarty.Read More Read More
