JAMES BOND ROUTE 9 AND ME
Frieda Toth is an internationally recognized James Bond scholar, and arguably the world’s expert on Ian Fleming’s nine James Bond novel, The Spy who Loved Me. Like Bond, she’s an international traveler and a certified SCUBA diver. Frieda also has danced the Rat King in the Nutcracker and sung opera since she was 9, but chances are pretty good you know her from the library.

NEW STODDARD BOOK HAS ARRIVED
The Warren County Historical Society announced today the publication of a new book on the complete biography of Seneca Ray Stoddard by well known local author and doctor Daniel Way, MD.
This full color, 205 page book, titled Seneca Ray Stoddard; and Intimate Portrait of an Adirondack, is the result of five years research by Way and allowed Dan to reveal his families’ connection and some unique photographs never before published, including a virtual tour of Stoddard’s house, which no longer exists.
Each of the 22 chapters features a specific aspect of Stoddard’s talent and career, with over 250 illustrations to create as vivid and complete a picture of his life as possible.
