Another book from the "way-back machine." Who remembers How to Eat Fried Worms, by Thomas Rockwell, published by Franklin Watts in hardcover and bought by Ron Buehl for a Yearling Books paperback edition in the mid-'70s (with me as assistant, typing up the paperwork and refusing to read about fried worms. Sorry, Ron.)

I'm reminded again that Thomas Rockwell was Norman Rockwell's son.

His father, Norman Rockwell, depicted his childhood on covers of The Saturday Evening Post. The worms came later.

If this happens, libraries will close another day of the week (it's already closed on Sundays now) and branches being renovated will continue to look like the one on my corner. The Muhlenberg Branch was supposed to reopen last December and this is what it looks like. The work has stopped completely, as it has at other branches. Come on, Mayor Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Council. NYPL The New York Public Library is our lifeline.
