The Friends of the Cyrenius H. Booth Library Annual Book Sale will be held Saturday, July 11, through Wednesday, July 15, at Reed Intermediate School, 3 Trades Lane. Shopping hours will be Saturday and Sunday, July 11 and 12, 9 am to 5 pm; Monday and Tuesday, July 13 and 14, 9 am to 7 pm; and on Wednesday, July 15, the sale will end at 1 pm.

Patrons can browse the more than 80 categories of 120,000 carefully organized and alphabetized books, CDs, records, and movies in a spacious, climate-controlled facility with ample parking and other amenities.

In light of the poor economy, this yearâs Saturday adult admission is only $5, down from the usual $10 charged in previous years. An additional $1 off card is available at the library as well. Members of the Friends of the Library will get in free with their specially marked card.

Tickets will be available at the book sale site beginning at 7 am on Saturday morning, with no advanced sales.

Again this year, Visa and MasterCard will be accepted for purchases.

Of special interest is material for Civil War buffs, train fans, and a collection of CDs for jazz aficionados. Bird lovers will want to consider the 37 Peterson field guides with gold trimmed pages. Collectors will appreciate the complete set of leather-bound, 11th edition Encyclopedia Britannica, and the Self-Instructor for the Ukulele and Taro-Patch Fiddle by Major Kealakai (20th edition, revised and enlarged, 1914), a paperback with a photo of Major Kealakai and his Glee Club on the cover.

More information on the sale and the rare book/collectible offerings can be found at CHBoothLibrary.org/BookSale.php.

The nonfiction section features a wide range of categories, including art, architecture, history, biography, cooking, health, gardening, finance, travel, computers, and religion. The always-popular childrenâs section offers fiction and nonfiction books organized by reading level, format, series, and popular topics of interest for every age group, toddler to teenager.

The sale is sponsored by The Friends of the Cyrenius H. Booth Library, and all proceeds will benefit the library.

Middle School Counseling Department Hosts Annual Career Day

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
