WHERE THE PAST MEETS THE FUTURE

SPOTLIGHT ON THE LIBRARY

JANUARY 7, 2003

The coming of the new year means many things for us, not least of all having to remember to sign checks and other items with the new, current year of 2003! Maybe you make New Year’s resolutions, or at least think about things in your life you’d like to change or look at more closely. Whether you make an official list or not, the David A. Howe Public Library offers a significant choice of nonfiction on subjects that many of us think about around the beginning of January.

Taking time for you is something that many people struggle to find time for. Julia Cameron, the guru on personal creativity, has a new book out entitled Walking In This World: the Practical Art of Creativity (153.35 CAM). Continuing in her tradition, Cameron outlines steps people can take in everyday life to nurture and help express their creativity within. You don’t have to be a professional actor or artist to be creative day to day and Julia Cameron can help you see that in your own life.

In Take This Job and Thrive (650.1 BRU) Anita Bruzzese explains, and what’s more, she illustrates how to get the most out of your job. Bruzzese suggests alternatives to just "letting your career ‘happen’ to you" and advises "actively seeking ways to make it something you enjoy and want to do" (70). Let 2003 be the year that you conquered your job frustrations!

Holiday eating is something that many struggle with. Who hasn’t known that they’ll pay for it later if they eat one more piece of pie, or one more helping of that delicious Christmas dinner? If you’ve resolved to take your eating and weight under control in 2003, Anne Alexander’s book Win the Fat War: 145 Real-life Secrets to Weight-loss Success (613.7 ALE) could be a good place to find inspiration and help. As the editor of Prevention magazine, Alexander is in a great position to relate stories and explain the ins and outs of enjoying food in moderation and making sensible decisions about how and what you eat.
