OCIOIER’94 LIBRARY NEWS OCTOBER AT THE LIBRARY oCet’s face it, October can he a depressing month. Oh, it usually starts off OK, with warm Indian Summer days, cool pleasant evenings, bright fall colours, a resumption of Sunday opening at the Memorial Library (OcL 2nd), etc. There*s Thanksffving turkey and pumpkin pie. Then things start to turn nasty. The rains come. Sodden slippery leaves litter lawns, line sidewalks and clog drains. Students still on summer time suddenly find themselves faced with mid-terms and looming assignment deadlines. Dayli^t saving time ends and we plunge into winter darkness. When the rain stops, frost kills the pumpkin and the last of the tomatoes. BUT.... At the Memorial Library fall proff-amming is in full swing new books, videos and CDs are on display, the bookmobile is loading up for its weekly circuit through the community, the Friends are busy, discussion groups going strong Foundation directors planning special events, and in Youth Services they’re plotting some REALLY SCARY STUFF for Hallowe’en. The only thing missing is your parking space. Try 20th Street, north of Marine. Your all-season library.

Filling a few topical gaps are the Cambridge Star Adas, 2000.0, the Cambridge Eruydopedia of Ornithology, the ^uyclcpedia of Adult Develojmtait, and the Eruydopedia of Childbearing. Updating and covering a range of research questions that many users might feel are searchable only in larger or academic libraries, these titles help those libraries, such as ours, caught somewhere in the dimensions between behemothian and Lilliputian find answers to questions previously presumed unanswerable. "Hundreds of down-aged yuppies networked at the cruise at which not one ZEV was to be found, even though many were given the blue driving blue to the pomp, they still attended choir practice."* Is this English? Well, it could be a futurist simulation. A number of growing jargon and slang terms are finding their way into everyday speech. A few dictionaries and a number of newspapers and magazines (especially, the Globe & Mail, thcAdantic Mortify, and the New York Times Magazine) have regular columns that catch the new jargon/slang words and phrases in conversational fashion amongst various social circles. •Answer. "Hundreds of middle-aged men and women, dressed 10 - years younger than their ages, gathered at the vintage and customized car show at which there were no ’zero emissions vehicles’ (pollution-free cars). Even though many got tickets speeding to the event, they still went out for a beer following it."
