The program was for girls in kindergarten through 2nd grade and was based on the popular "Fancy Nancy" books which are about a young girl that likes everything very fancy. Girls attending were read a story, learned how to curtsy, had a tea party, and made a necklace. Some of the fancy words they learned included "ettiquette" and "accessorize." On Thursday girls in grades 3 - 6 had their "Girls Only" program. The theme was "The Babysitter's Club" books. The girls learned how to diaper and swaddle a baby, made a babysitting kit and tie-died a bag to hold their babysitting supplies. This week the boys are meeting for a "Boys Only" program. The theme this month is "Sports." If your 3rd-6th grader would like to join them this afternoon at 4 p.m., please call the library to sign "P- . Book Look 'The Sister' a suspenseM read Debbie Balzotti When someone recommends recom-mends a book and says it is a clean read, what does that mean exactly? Is it squeaky clean, or spick-and-span, or clean as a whistle, or cleaner clean-er than my teenage son's bedroom floor? There are many Web sites that rate book content for language, violence and sexual references. One of the sites I use is ratedreads. com. There are not many selections se-lections there, but I like the rating system using N for none, M for mild, and Mo for moderate. There are two separate files for books that are Off the Charts and Dirt. I chose "The Sister" by Poppy Adams from the Web site to read and review re-view it this week. It is the story of two sisters sis-ters who reunite in their crumbling childhood mansion man-sion after 50 years. The adventurous ad-venturous Vivien left home to live in London as a teenager teen-ager and never returned home. The reclusive Ginny was left behind to carry on her father's research on moths. As the women reunite, Ginny remembers her happy hap-py childhood with her sister sis-ter and wonders why they have been apart so long. "There's rarely a sole cause for the separation of lives. It's a sequence of events, an inexorable chain reaction where each small link is fundamental, like a snake of upended dominoes. domi-noes. And I've been thinking think-ing that the very first one, the one you push to start it all off, must have been when Vivi slipped off our bell tower and nearly died, 59 years ago." Vivien disturbs the tranquility tran-quility of Ginny's orderly life, and we soon sense that Ginny may be more .than eccentric. She is obsessed with time to the point she must wear two watches, determined to keep her bed sheets so neat she must pin them in place and unable to tolerate the presence of even her own sister. 1790 S.

"The Sister" was rated as a clean read. It did have the Mo rating which alerts the reader that there is some language to be aware of. It is definitely an adult fiction selection. There is also the caution that there is "mild" discussion of a sexual scene. I would rate it cleaner than a teenage boy's bedroom bed-room floor but definitely not squeaky clean.
