The summer reading program is open to all Garwood children, from Pre-K to eighth grade. Parents and caregivers can log in time spent reading to those little ones who do not yet read. There will be other programs scheduled during the summer, both for children and adults. For further information, visit youseemore.com/garwood.

Adults can also get into the act of enjoying summer reading. Each time they visit the library and check out a book, their name will be placed in our random drawing bowl, with three prizes being awarded at the end of the summer. Adults dont have to record their times, just check out a book and read.

In addition to weekly crafts on Tuesdays at 3 pm, there will be movies for children on Thursdays at 2 pm Registration is required for each craft session, as it is limited to 20 children, beginning with those entering third grade in September, through grade five. If attending the movies, children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult caregiver. If bringing a snack or drink to the movie, the drink must be in a closeable container.

There is no registration required for the movie sessions.

The library is also providing residents attending Arthur L. Johnson High School with books that are on their required summer reading list. The books on the high school reading list will be lent to Garwood residents only, with valid library cards. In order to give all Garwood students a chance to select their book, the books are lent for two weeks only, with no renewals.

The toddler story time held on Wednesdays at 10:30 am, will continue to the end of June and will return on Wednesday, Sept. 11. Movies for adults will end on Friday, June 14, and resume on Friday, Sept. 6.

The library is at the corner of Walnut Street and Third Avenue, at the back of the Lincoln School Complex. Weekly library hours will not change during the summer except for being closed on Saturdays, beginning with June 22.

The library will be closed for business on June 22, however the library will be participating in Garwoods town-wide yard sale on that date. Most items will be priced at $1 with all proceeds benefiting the library. The librarys yard sale will be held on Saturday, June 22, from 9 am to 1 pm

Mahesh Palawat, chief meteorologist at Sky Met, pointed out at pre-monsoon activity along the west coast. He said that earlier the temperatures had gone up because winds were blowing in from the land in Pakistan but now the westerly and south-westerly winds are blowing in from the sea. These winds have moisture in them and this has resulted in fall in temperature, said Palawat. He said that the high moisture incursion may also result in scattered rainfall in South Gujarat, Surat and Mumbai in next three to four days.

It will also be cloudy and extremely humid but temperatures will stay down, said Palawat. The Met department has, meanwhile, predicted clear sky and sunny weather for the city and the state. The temperature in the city is expected to rise a bit further touching 42 degree Celsius on Friday.

I dont know whether to rejoice in this weather or curse it. Now, the temperature has gone down and the heat has become bearable. But it is the humidity that is making life miserable, said Navin Singh, a resident of Bopal. By the time I reach my office in the morning I am sweating profusely and it gets really messy, he said.

From the blotter: Furry friends

Rocksmith

Ubisoft is showing off the new Session Mode in Rocksmith 2014 Edition at E3. Players will be able to customize AI bands that respond to and feed off of the users’ actions.

We’ve heard this promise from music games before, but this time it does appear to be quite intelligent and musically-grounded. Players have a wealth of options, such as different tonal modes and genres.

The 2014 edition, which we’ll forgive for coming out in October 2013, addresses several complaints from the original game, such as loading times and frustrating menus. It arrives on PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PS3 with songs from Alice in Chains, Aerosmith, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis and more.

Rocksmith has done well since its initial release in 2011, selling over 1.5 million copies. Ubisoft touts the game as the “fastest way to learn guitar” according to a national study, noting that 95 percent of players say they’ve gotten better at the instrument after playing the game.

BandFuse

Also at E3, I went hands-on with BandFuse: Rock Legends. The game, which has attracted big name guitarists like Slash and Zakk Wylde, scrolls guitar tabulation in real-time and supports four players: two guitars, a bass and vocals.

As an average guitarist and better-than-average Guitar Heroist, transitioning to the BandFuse interface was relatively seamless, though learning to move up and down the fretboard while keeping an eye on tabs will take some time.

On the second Monday of each month, Brooklyn literati gather in Crown Heights popular Franklin Park Bar and Beer Garden to listen to the likes of Jennifer Egan (The Visit from the Goon Squad), A. M. Homes (The End of Alice) and Michael Showalter (of Wet Hot American Summer fame) read their work as part of the Franklin Park Reading Series.

The series most recently hosted a PEN American Center event on Monday that featured writers including Matt Bell, Amy Brill, Edwidge Danticat, and Matthew Aaron Goodman. Bell read an excerpt of In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods while Brill read from her first novel, The Movement of Stars, and Danticat read from her forthcoming title, Claire of the Sea Light, while Goodman, a Crown Heights native, read a piece titled Leaving Brooklyn.

Penina Roth, a former community news reporter, started developing the reading series in December 2008 and hosted the first reading in March 2009. Page Views spoke to Roth via email about her impressions from PEN night and where the series is going.

Lesley Thulin: How did you go about organizing the night with PEN?
Penina Roth: Ive known Paul Morris, the PEN American Centers director of membership, marketing and literary awards and Mondays co-host, since his days at BOMB Magazine, and weve been talking about collaboration for a while. He co-sponsors a wide range of literary events, from readings to mingles, and Im always impressed with the programs. Im also a huge admirer of PENs work with political dissidents and their advocacy for crucial social and artistic causes, so Im thrilled that we finally had a chance to partner on a reading.

LT: Back to PEN nights readers. You said that Matt Bell is representative of the direction youre going in. What do you see this direction as?
PR: The Franklin Park Reading Series audience is interested in language-driven, innovative literature and stories told in unconventional ways. This is work thats regularly published by small, indie presses. Matt Bell, whos known for his meticulous attention to language syntax, diction and acoustics and his provocative subjects, epitomizes our sensibility. Hes also published by one of the most esteemed indie publishers, Soho Press.

LT: Edwidge Danticat, in particular, is gaining a lot of traction in the literary world. What do you think makes her an important writer?
PR: Edwidge Danticat has been a great force in the literary world for nearly 20 years from the time she published the novel Breath, Eyes, Memory and the story collection Krik? Krak! in the mid-90s. In 1999 she was featured in a special issue of The New Yorker, The Future of American Fiction, along with other notables like George Saunders, Junot Diaz, Jonathan Franzen, AM Homes, Jeffrey Eugenides and Michael Chabon.

Danticat is a prolific, extraordinary writer, adept at fiction, memoir and essays. In her work, she explores vital issues like immigration, exile, tyranny and social injustice that are not regularly addressed by influential contemporary authors. Her prose is rhythmic, lyrical and forceful, and her signature style celebrates the oral storytelling tradition of her native Haiti. And shes also a humanitarian whos brought desperately needed attention and funds to her earthquake and poverty-ravaged homeland.

LT: Monday nights PEN reading kicked off the reading series partnership with Late Night Library to bring podcasts of the readings to the public. How did this partnership start?
PR: As far as the Late Night Library podcasts, I was approached last month by Douglas Silver, whos launching the New York branch of the Portland-based literary organization, which promotes the work of debut writers. Late Night will be recording Franklin Park readings periodically throughout the year.

I asked some writers I admire what books theyve got piled up and waiting and where those books came from.

Jesse Ball (The Curfew)

1. Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations, by R. C. Bell. Found at Myopic Books in Chicago. A Dover edition of this classic on human play.

2. Memories of the Future, by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky. Given to me by a student. NYRB, so I am filled as always with eager anticipation.

3. Baroque Chess Openings, by Richard Wincor. A bizarre book by a brilliant man who appears to have been only a competent chess player. I am also only competent and like his obscure approach (as detailed in the book). I may give his method a try. Also purchased at Myopic.

4. The Nature of the Judicial Process, by Benjamin Cardozo. Purchased at Myopic. A book about how judges think when making judgments (by a legendary justice).

5. Agricola and Germania, by Tacitus (translation). If you don#39;t like Tacitus, your world is a little smaller and paler in my estimation.

6. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, by Thomas S. Kuhn. A book on systems of knowledge and ways of thinking in science. Bought at Myopic as a gift for someone who already owned it (a prescient gift).

Molly Brodak (A Little Middle of the Night)

1. The Cousins#39; Wars, by Kevin Philips. About five years ago I read Wealth and Democracy by him, which is a book that should replace all math books, science books, history books, English books, every textbook in every school in America. This one is considerably larger and deeper and I have a lot of reverence for it, which is somehow why I have not #39;let#39; myself read it yet.

2. Songs of Stories of the Ghouls, by Alice Notley. The few times I#39;ve opened this it seemed like a neurotic, rambling, serious inside joke that wanted me to close it back up and not return, but I won#39;t.

3. Canada, by Richard Ford. My mom sent me this book for my birthday because the main character#39;s dad robs banks, which is something she thought I could relate to. The blurb says it is luminous and destined to become a classic which makes me already hate it.

4. The Penguin Atlas of African History, by Colin McEvedy. This book has extremely beautiful pale blue maps on every other page, showing various anthropological changes to population/politics using various shading patterns and symbols. Someone already highlighted all passages relating to diseases or plagues.

5. Prehistoric Life, by DK Books. I regularly flip through this book but I plan to force myself to read it cover to cover soon. It#39;s childish and has overly colorful digital artists#39; renderings of extinct animals and plants that will look dated in ten years but it#39;s very comforting somehow. Still, I can#39;t believe I bought this book; it probably cost $50.

6. Inside the Blood Factory, by Diane Wakoski. I bought this book for $1 because I sort of felt bad for it and I also liked the mellow 70s cover style. The poems seem sort of mystical/hysterical and I will feel even more sorry for it when I read it.

Claire Donato (Burial)

1. New Religious Movements: A Documentary Reader, by Dereck Daschke.

2. Look at the Bunny: Totem, Taboo, Technology, by Dominic Pettman.

3. Ghost, bySarah Tourjee.

4. Foreign Correspondent, by Joanna Howard.

5. Unequal Before Death, by Marcelline Block and Christina Staudt.

6. The Organism for Poetic Research. PELT 2 + accompanying cassette tape.

7. Moscow Symposium: Conceptualism Revisited, Boris Groys (ed).

8. Heath Course Pak, by Tan Lin.

9. Middlemarch, by George Eliot.

10. Alices Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll.

11. The Talented Mr. Ripley, by Patricia Highsmith.

12. Fishboy, by Mark Richard.

13. Against Interpretation and Other Essays by Susan Sontag.

14. Music for Porn, by Rob Halpern.

15. Nilling by Lisa Robertson.

16. Exilee / Temps Morts: Selected Works, by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.

17. Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics, TC Tolbert and Tim Trace Peterson (eds).

18. Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, by Daniel Clowes.

Brian Evenson (Immobility)

1. Pathmarks, by Martin Heidegger. Always try to start the summer by reading some high theory…

2. Killing Critics, by Carol O#39;Connor. O#39;Connor#39;s Mallory is the basis for Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

3. Remember Why You Fear Me, by Robert Shearsman. Everybody who knows anything about horror and literature has been recommending this one to me. Really looking forward to it.

4. Red Moon, by Benjamin Percy. Werewolves, written by a guy who has a voice like Darth Vader. What#39;s not to like?

5. Signs of Life, by M. John Harrison. Been slowly working through all of Harrison#39;s work, which is excellent.My friend Brian Conn recommended this one.

6. The River Through the Trees, by David Peak. Poor David Peak, crushed by all these big books. But I#39;ll probably start at the bottom of the pile and work up.

Shane Jones (Daniel Fights a Hurricane)

1. The Recognitions, by William Gaddis. Have had this on my list for at least a year. I keep dipping in and out, loving it, then reading some other, shorter book. I asked for this on Twitter and a guy in Rhode Island sent it to me. Gaddis blows people up on the page (from the 100 pages or so I#39;ve read).

2. Lightning Rods, by Helen DeWitt. My wife read this and liked it. DeWitt seems really interesting and I eventually want to get to it because it#39;s mostly about fucking in the workplace, I think.

3. The Mandarin, by Aaron Kunin. I#39;m pretty sure this book is for me, but it#39;s been sitting for like two years unread. Rebecca Wolff gave me this copy during lunch at a Thai restaurant in Albany.

4. Night Moves, by Stephanie Barber. Ordered this from PGP and then for some reason never read it. It keeps moving around my apartment, following me.

Sean Kilpatrick (fuckscapes)

1. Kissssss, by Steve Katz. Caught a review touting Katzs level as under the common slur of influence. Hope its fucking mean enough. Us word saladers get caught yawning too. All right.

2. Expressionist Texts, by Oskar Kokoschka. Some forms of batshit kill together.

3. Desires, by John LHeureux. He would walk around on his skinned feet, leaving bloody footprints up and down the corridors, looking for someone to love him.

4. Nathanael West, by Jay Martin. West never plagiarized Horatio Alger. He popped a dildo in his ear for science. Reading this and Mishima soon. Lets end how they did.

5. Us He Devours, by James B. Hall. He wrote Yates Paul, His Grand Flights, His Tootings. Heres the proud simple line being fantastic. Titles like early Arthur Kopit: Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma#39;s Hung You in the Closet and I#39;m Feelin#39; So Sad.

6. Zone, by Mathias Eacute;nard. Evensons translations. Electric Flesh. Electric Flesh.

7. The Works of Rabelais. Reading this over my short lifespan.

Ben Mirov (Hider Roser)

1. Strange Travelers, by Gene Wolfe. I like Gene Wolfe#39;s writing a lot. He is one of my favorite writers, but I haven#39;t really read many of his short stories. I#39;ve had this book for about a year, I think. I took it from my dad#39;s bookshelf.

2. The Explosions, by Mathias Svalina. Mathias is a friend of mine. I really like his writing. I#39;m especially attracted to how imaginative it is.

3. Mellow Actions, by Brandon Downing. Brandon#39;s work is always fun to read. I like to think of his poems as collages, but I#39;m not sure he would describe them that way.

4. The Naomi Poems: Corpse and Beans, by Bill Knott. My friend Clay just moved to Massachusetts. He was clearing out his books and had two copies of this, so he gave me one. I don#39;t really know Bill Knott#39;s work, but a number of poets have recommended him to me.

5. A Perfect Vacuum, by Stanislaw Lem. I#39;ve been meaning to read this book for a long time. My friend Clint found it in the Strand in New York, I think. It#39;s a collection of fake book reviews.

6. Hogg, by Samuel Delany. I#39;ve always been a fan a Delany#39;s writing, especially his older sci-fi, but also his nonfictional writing. I tried to read Hogg before. I was reading it and then I gave up reading books for a while, but I want to finish it.

7. The Wise Man#39;s Fear, by Patrick Rothfuss. This is the second book in a trilogy about a legendary hero telling the story of how he became a hero. It seems like pretty straightforward fantasy writing so far. I#39;m sort of losing interest in it.

Adam Robinson (Adam Robison and Other Poems)

1. Antigonick, by Anne Carson (illustrated (a lot) by Bianca Stone). Read it for the pictures.

2. As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh, by Susan Sontag, edited by her son, David Rieff. You think you like Susan Sontag, but who has the time? These fragments solve that problem.

3. Young Tambling, by Kate Greenstreet. The guy who told me to see Fishbone became my best friend because of it. Go see Kate Greenstreet.

4. The Skin Team, by Jordaan Mason. The publisher told me this is an immersive book. I#39;ll say. I won#39;t even need to fill the bathtub.

5. Nazi, by Jeremiah Rush Bowen. With no preface, Nazi launches into 400 pages of internet people telling each other why theyre Nazis. Youre a Nazi because you breastfeed.

6. Goodbye to the Nervous Apprehension, by Michael Heald. The author sold me this for $5. Theres some stuff about Malkmus in it, but in a good way.

7. The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton. Its like the point is to make me uncomfortable.

Andrea Seigel (The Kid Table)

1. Crap Kingdom, by D. C. Pierson. Im a few chapters into this. We have the same publisher, so I asked my editor for it.

2. Ticknor, by Sheila Heti. I went apeshit for How Should a Person Be? So I immediately ordered this.

3. When Panic Attacks, by David D. Burns. A therapist Im no longer seeing told me to read this and do the exercises for my anxiety because I won#39;t take drugs. I can#39;t seem to get on board.

4. The Emperor of All Maladies, by Siddhartha Mukherjee. This book has been in my bedside reading pile for approximately two years. Every time I try to read more of it, I get anxious that I have cancer (see above).

5. Instyle, December 2012. I like to go through holiday gift guides and cut out things I think people would like. I haven#39;t had time yet because I had a baby.
