If you missed the hamburger supper put on by the Friends of the Library last Saturday, you missed a great meal with a great group of people. We would like to thank Lawrence Brothers Grocery, Cap Rock Telephone Co-op, and our many volunteers for making this all possible.
We would also like to thank Barbara Brannon for donating copies of her newly released book “The Wolf Hunt,” written under the pseudonym Will Brandon. Billie Bass was the proud winner of one of the copies by getting the most answers correctly on the trivia game that we had available Saturday night. The first copy donated to the library was put into circulation and has stayed checked out by our patrons. We will now have a copy for our Hometown Corner in the library, where we keep books either written by or about people from Dickens County and surrounding areas.
The look of the app we use to access our ebooks and audiobooks has changed. I attended a webinar last week to get the latest on the Libby app. If you are having any issues navigating the new look come up to the library and I will be glad to help. If you have not yet signed up for access to the many ebooks and audiobooks available on the library’s Overdrive I can help you with that as well. I am surrounded by thousands of books everyday, but when I find time to read I go to my Libby app to find an audiobook to check out and download on my smart phone.
Right now I am listening to “The Cousins” by Karen M. McManus. I stepped out of my reading box to try something a little different. The book has been classified as a young adult thriller. The only difference I can find between this young adult suspense-filled novel and one aimed at a slightly older audience is there is no bad language. We have a nice selection of young adult fiction, so if today’s authors are making you stay away from reading by using too much bad language, you might want to consider trying something from this section of the library.
One of the new books we received this week was “The Women of Lafayette.” It has been named one of 2021’s Most Anticipated Historical Novels by Oprah Magazine, PopSugar, SheReads Parade and more. It’s an epic saga from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Dray based on the true story of an extraordinary castle in the heart of France and the remarkable women bound by its legacy.
In historical Christian Fiction we have Joanna Davidson Politano’s “The Love Note.” The description reads, “A forgotten letter. A secret love. A vast estate. Can one determined woman put the pieces together?”
Check it all out at the Library.
