"A Day at the Races" Brings a Family Together
Esther Muir was just 34 years old when she starred in the movie "A Day at the Races" and it was released in 1937. Just this month her family gathered in the Canyon Theater for a special viewing during Doris' Sunday Matinee. Family members came from as far as Houston, TX to join in on the occasion, most of which were Esther's great grandchildren!

Library Love Stories
Meadows Branch Specialist, Barbara Magil was out in town when a little girl from one of the schools that Barbara visited for outreach pointed and shouted, "Hey!  You're the alien who visited my school!" Barbara responded, "Summer of Discovery at the Library!" (Barbara wore her alien antennae to the outreach school visit.)
