Posted 1/28/25January is here and a new year has begun. It is a great time to snuggle up with a good book and read. We have many titles to choose from. If you do not have a library card, it is time to get one. If you live in Rochelle, all you need are two forms of identification, one with a picture and one with a current address. This item is available in full to subscribers.

October is a beautiful month. The leaves start falling, temperatures get cooler, Rochelle Hubs football is in full swing and hoodies are the norm. This year we have had a warm, dry fall. Our Hay Bale is up and decorated like “Mother Bruce”. “Bruce the bear likes to keep to himself. That, and eat eggs. But when his hard-boiled goose eggs turn out to be real, live goslings, he starts to lose his appetite. Even worse, the goslings are convinced he's their mother.

The Library has been a busy place this summer. Fourth of July week is the halfway point of Summer Reading. We always look forward to celebrating America’s Birthday at the Library. Many families will celebrate together by having picnics, going to parades and watching fireworks. The Library always participates in the parade and the staff has so much fun seeing all of our patrons along the parade route. One of things that is an important part of the day is the American flag.

If you’ve ever watched a natural history programme on TV, you’ve probably seen animals performing a wide variety of behaviours to get the attention of the opposite sex. BBC Earth even released an interview with David Attenborough about some of nature’s most spectacular mating displays. Not included, however, was Aotearoa New Zealand’s wide-bodied pipefish – although I think they should have been! As our recent research explains, our local pipefish species really does confound expectations.
