Dear Reader,
Wishing my Jewish readers a (belated) Shana Tova, a happy, healthy, peaceful year for all.
Remember my complaint last week about my sluggish Android phone? I’ve got good news, bad news and good news. I fixed my phone! While trying to clear my phone’s system cache (a fix I found online for Androids that got sluggish after a recent software update) I accidentally wiped my entire phone, meaning I deleted everything. The last good news was that my backup worked, and I didn’t lose anything important. My phone is all better now, and don’t have to buy a new one just yet.
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

Roald Dahl was a writer with a wild imagination, and a gift for sharing his vision. Some of his children’s books have been made into movies. Perhaps you’ve seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and Giant Peach or Matilda? Many more of his books (such as BFG or The Fantastic Mr. Fox) are waiting at the library for you to discover them.

Official Roald Dahl Website
It’s official! The Official Roald Dahl Website is my pick of the day. With artwork by Quentin Blake, this site is both familiar and unexpected – much like a Dahl novel. With so many treasures, I can’t list them all, but highlights are games and quizzes, crafts, reading lists, a short Dahl biography, and lesson plans for teachers.
Puffin Books: Authors: Roald Dahl
Reading lists, party games, fun quotes, audio snippets, and video shorts await your discovery at Dahl’s mini-site from his English publisher Puffin Books.
