This bear is Paddington, whose story started on Christmas Eve in 1956, at Selfridges in London. Michael Bond, searching for a present, pitied a forlorn toy bear sitting alone on a shelf and took it home. He wrote more than 70 stories about his much-loved bear. Today, over 30 million Paddington books have sold worldwide. The bear is so famous that when the Chunnel opened, a Paddington bear was the first item to enter France.

Politics and food go hand-in-hand. Do you remember Clinton’s fast food hamburgers, Bush’s distaste for broccoli, and cookie recipes from candidates’ wives?
Fall is officially here, with November bringing thoughts of hot cider, warm fires and reading. It’s always a good time to stop into the library to grab a few books (we have lots of new titles) or old movies as an alternative to staring at your phone during rainy weekends. And don’t forget to sign up for the free teen programs we have scheduled. As always, keep an eye on our website, our instagram (@suffieldlibraryteens) or email wmitzel@suffield-library.org to get on our teen newsletter mailing list. And stay tuned for tons more programs in December – we’ve got you covered for great homemade holiday gifts!
