NEW BUILDING UPDA E from the Di'rector
The big news i.s ... ground was broken for Roseland's first Lib~rary and Community Center on Sunday, November 17, in a ceremony attended by nearly 200. Following heavy rains all day and all night Saturday, the sun opened up on a jubilation.

TODDLER TIME
Toddler Time, a new Library program for 2-year-olds, is a success, Children's Librarian Estelle Phelan reports. What started out as a suggestion by the mother of one toddler has turned into a high-de- mand activity. After registering twelve wide-eyed initiates, the Library had to p six more hopefuls on a waiting list. As 2-year-olds progress to the pre-school p gram, or as they leave for other reasons, children on the waiting list will be in- cluded.
Parents stay in the Library through ut the program. At the first meeting, Nov. 21, the children's mothers walked around the Children's Room with their fledglings and assembled at the picture book table.
By the third meeting, the 2-year-olds learned to feel comfortable with other children in a social setting, to complete simple arts and crafts projects, to say please and thank you, and to focus their attention on the storyteller or activity.
Chalkboards, chalk, and little eras- ers are favorite items. When the children break a piece of chalk, they want to know how the halves can be joined so that it can work again.
FAVORITE BOOK SURVEY
During National Book Week, November 11 to 17, chi l dren toured the Roseland Public Library, visiting the Children's Room to re- ceive Best Book Lists, and to register their votes in the Library's "Favorite Book Survey."
Now, the envelope, please! Favorite Book of the Year is Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. Below is the list of the top seven titles, in order of poularity, with reading level indi- cated in terms of school grade,
Freckle Juice, Judy Blume (grades 2-4) ,James and the Giant Peach, Roald Dahl ("grades 4-6
Superfudge, Judy Blume (grades 3-6) Cat in the Hat, Dr. Seuss (grades 1-2) Ira Sleeps Over, Bernard Waber grades K-3
Berenstain Bears (series), Stan and Jan Berenstain (grades preschool-2) Clifford (series), Norman Bridwell (grades K-3)
HOLIDAY SPIRIT Library programs in December delighted
children and parents with the spirit of the holidays. Nearly one hundred cards wishing good cheer were sent to children in the M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas by their counterparts in Roseland. The Roseland children hand-designed each card, making it a labor of love.
Children also aided Estelle Phelan in decorating the Library's Christmas Tree with teddy bears and strings of cranberry and popcorn. Mrs. Phelan was assisted by Jenni- fer McDermott, Jill Pruden, Melissa McCor- mack, Jennifer Holtz, and Amandine Tomaselli in her supervision of the arts and crafts project.

By Feature Editor, Mendel Seagull
The following review of literature on "Star Wars by our Feature Editor represents his digest of materials which the Library owns and has assembled for quick reference. The Library's "Space Warfare" file includes a wide range of reports, from popular and technical sources, allowing the reader to go beyond the sources referred to in this article and to come to his/her own conclu- sions.
STAR WARS -- YES OR NO
Every human being on our planet has to face up to the issue, "Star Wars---Pro or Con " We are concerned with: overcoming the threat of a nuclear attack, by provid- ing protective weaponry in outerspace; and, of equal importance, the feasibility of a successful nuclear strike force, able to overcome the Russian Defense Missile Deploy- ment, or DMD. The Union of Concerned Scientists' Panel on Ballistic Missile De- fense (which includes Carl Sagan, Professor, Astronomy and Space Sciences, Cornell Uni- versity) has- published The Fal 1 acy of Star Wars--Why Space Weapons Can't Protect Us. Their basic argument against the Star Wars concept, or S.D.I. (Strategic Defense Initiative) is that the system can never be tested under conditions even remotely realistic--and therefore one will never know with confidence that it would work if called upon.
The matter of testing is crucial, as these are complex devices, and they breed compl ex probl ems. Research is continuing at both a feverish pace and monumental cost.
John Corry, writing for the New York Times, November 12, 1985, quotes Ro ert McNamara as saying "There is no possibility that Star Wars will work':" James Schlesinger another former Secretary of Defense, is also skeptical and states that Star Wars should be negotiated at Geneva--not in the laboratory.
From Wm. J. Broad, New York Times Ma gazina, October, 1985, comes news of the legendary Peter Hagelstein, Head of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a federal site for design of nuclear weapons and other advanced technologies. Dr Hagel- stei n came up with the idea for a laser device designed to fire deadly beams across the heavens at the speed of light i n order to destroy enemy mi ssi 1 es . This program
is at the forefront of the Pentagon's five- year X26 billion project. The laser offen-
sive weapon seems to be the key to the suc- cess of Star Wars.
From "High Frontier Newsletter" (Washington, D. C.) comes news that as President Reagan presses ahead with Star Wars, Russia too will convert to its own version of Star Wars. The original skepti- cism about Star Wars is softening, as a lot of people have come to see the idea as more workable and less immoral than they first throught. Barbara Wheeler, Editor, believes that Reagan's S.D.I. and high frontier con- cepts offer the best hope America, its al- lies, and even the Russian people have ever known of avoiding the deadly shadow of nu- .clear war. She says "Because the logic of S.D.I. seems so clear, we have trouble un- derstanding the strenuous, virulent opposi- tion of some of our fellow citizens".
RECOMMENDED NEW BOOKS

THE CITY OF JOY by Dominique Lapierre (Doubleday). Unforgettable close-up ac- count of inhumanity and humanity in Cal- cutta slums. COMMON GROUND by J. Anthony Lukas (Knopf).
