Book written by the family of one of our staff!
Alex Saunders, father of Joanne Burns has come out with a new book called “To Our Credit”! This book is an autobiography of Alex Saunders and his brother, Peter. It contains first hand accounts of his life growing up in Hungary during the time of World War II and the German occupation. It tells of the adventures of Alex and his family as they fled German gunfire as well as the emotional impact the war had on his family. The book utilizes both prose and poetry to communicate the imagery of these events.
This book is now available for checkout at the library! Click on the cover below for more information or to request the book:

New Books!
We finally were able to make another book order! Here are some of the titles we just added to our collection (click on the book cover to see if it’s in or place a hold):
Our book budget is reduced by 53% this year, but we’re still trying to get the best, most interesting materials to add to our collection. Have a suggestion? Click the “Leave a Comment” button, or contact us, and we will try to get it. Even better- if you have some recently-published books you’re finished with, consider donating them to the library. We really appreciate all the help we can get!

Book Clubs in Aston!
Interested in sharing a good read with others? There are a couple of book discussion clubs in Aston that could be for you.
The Aston Public Library Book Club meets once a month to discuss a book chosen by the group. We try to keep the group to a maximum of twelve members, due to space constraints and wanting to give everyone the opportunity to talk, but please register if you are interested. This group meets at 7PM on the third Wednesday of each month.
Senior Community Services also offers a book club for seniors that meets in our building some Wednesdays from 11:30 to 12:30. For more information about their book club, contact Farah Esfahani at 610-237-8100 ext. 30.
Membership is free for both the Library and Senior Services book clubs.
Are there other clubs in the area we should let people know about? Let us know! You can either comment on this post or use our contact form to send us the information.
We are also collecting names for interest in a daytime book club at the library. If you are interested in being part of a new daytime book club, click here to contact us with your information.
