The Exciting Month of May We have lots happening in May and June and we want to share it all with you. There are author signings, a fly tying demonstration, the first meeting of S'Math (a club for science and math geeks), and we will be participating in the Littleton Co-op's Children's Day with a table dedicated to everyone's favorite monkey Curious George. So, please take a moment to read through our up coming events. Stop in, have a coffee and enjoy everything we have to offer.  AUTHOR SIGNING Author Timothy Woodward  will be at the  Village Book Store Timothy Woodward grew up in Littleton New Hampshire, where Saturday evening trips to the local ice cream shop were a town ritual. Later he moved to the city where he was a high school teacher and an advocate for GLBT youth with Greater Boston PFLAG. In the city, ice cream shops have been replaced by frozen yougurt stores, but Timothy still goes back to his hometown for their ice cream. Timothy will be at the Village Book Store on Friday, May 3rd at 4:30. He will be signing copies of his book, If I Told You So. The story of a young man who struggles with trying to tell his father that he is gay. Tender and achingly funny, If I Told You So will resonate with anyone who is -or has ever been-a teenager, when the only thing you can count on is how little you really know, and the next glance, or touch, or breathless night can be the one that changes everything. Timothy has BAs in film and writing from the University of Southern California and an MFA in Writing from Southern New Hampshire University. He currently lives in Las Vegas. The Village Book Store has copies of Woodward's book for purchase to read before the signing. If you are unable to attend the signing, let us know. We will set aside a copy and have him sign it for you. Stop in or call us with any questions at 603.444.5263    S'Math  a science and math club for grown-ups Coffee, Science & Math Club =          S'MATH "Did you know snake venom turns your blood into pudding? How cool is that!" Jen Way, teacher at Northeast Kingdom Learning Services (NEKLS) in St. Johnsbury, VT, related to her coworkers. After a barrage of "did you know" comments, a coworker turned to Jen and said, "You need to meet more science geeks." S'Math Club was born. S'Math, a combination of two of Jen's loves-math and science-will have its first meeting Saturday, May 4, at 2:00 in the Village Bookstore, in Littleton, NH.      The purpose of the club is to draw together people that share Jen's passion for science, math, and fun "did you know" facts.      "I want this to be a fun space, where people can geek out to science or math-or even technology," Jen said. "It is not a study group, but rather a place to have fun discussions with people that share your interests. I'm hoping people can grab a coffee or cookie at the Village Bookstore's café, and then hang out, talking about what textbooks always seem to miss-the fun stuff of science and math!"      If you would like more information, please feel free to contact Jen at Ms.JenniferWay@gmail.com.   Fly Fishing Expert and Author will be at the Village Book Store to answer your questions,   give a fly tying demo and sign his books Tony Lolli   Attention all fly fishermen and fisherwomen.

Most of the 200 patterns shown and described in these pages have never appeared anywhere in print until now. Forty countries are represented. More important, all have proved effective, because all were created by professional fishing guides who now have agreed to share their secrets with the author Tony Lolli. These are the flies that working guides give customers when fishing is unusually difficult. These flies catch fish when nothing else works. Tony Lolli opens his comments on this book's valuable collection with general instructions on fly-tying techniques. He devotes the rest of the book to photos and detailed instructions for tying each of these very special flies from 40 countries. He separates flies into two general categories: For freshwater species: Trout of all varieties, Atlantic Salmon, Pacific Salmon For saltwater species: Striped bass, Bluefish, Bonefish, Marlin, Sailfish, and others. Readers will also find information on how, when, and where each fly is fished. Every fly in this book is shown in both life-size and in enlarged color photos so that fisherman can examine them in detail. 450 color illustrations in total.

Ursula dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on toward its second cataclysmic world war. Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can, will she? Startling imaginative, darkly comic, deeply poignant- this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best.   New Adult Non-Fiction There is much praise for Michelle Rhee's book, Radical.   Arianna Huffington writes, "Radical is much more than a diagnosis of our failing schools. It is Michelle Rhee's personal odyssey, powered by her conviction that the survival of the American dream of tomorrow depends on how we educate our children today. Her determination to change an educations system that is failing so many of our children comes through on every page." New Picture Book The Frank Show by David Mackintosh Parents and grandparents will both get a chuckle at Grandpa Frank's quirks. A lovely, warm book dealing with the generation gap. Beautifully illustrated! -SF
