In celebration of Fairfield’s One Book, One Town celebration, the Teen Services department will sponsor the Extreme Everest Adventure on Saturday, March 29 from 1 to 4 PM at the Fairfield Woods Middle School.

At this event, you will prepare for a trek up the big mountain - Amazing Race-style! Find the best flight to Nepal, gather your gear, hire a guide and get to base camp! There are traps and challenges at every turn, and you’ll need to use your wits to get to the mountain on time. When you finally get to the summit, you’ll get to climb a rock wall.

Registration begins on March 3rd. Sign up early for this exciting, one-of-a-kind event!

She’s So Original…

…is just one of the things being said about award-winning soul singer/rehabbing train wreck Amy Winehouse. But wouldn’t you know, the band producer Mark Ronson chose to back Ms. Winehouse on her groundbreaking Back to Black album are The Dap-Kings, who, with lead singer Sharon Jones, have been reviving the funk/soul/blues sound of the ’60s for over ten years now!

We have their newest album, 100 Days, 100 Nights in our collection. So if you can’t get enough of the Winehouse sound, we suggest you check out Ms. Jones. You will not be disappointed.
