We are still in the midst of the school supply drive. We have received donations of supplies from some very caring individuals. We also received a very generous donation of funding for the school supply drive from Brady and Lindsey Hinson of South Plains Greenkeeper Drip Irrigation LLC out of Lubbock. Brady is a native of Spur and the son of Chuck and Laurie Hinson and grandson of Gladys Hinson and Billie Bass. He is also my nephew and a huge supporter of our library. Thank you, Brady and Lindsey.
The library board of trustees has accepted the resignation of longtime member Jackie Rumbaugh. Jackie has decided to move closer to family. He will be missed, but we wish him well.
We received several donated books this past week. Included in the donated books is “Golden Girl” by Elin Hilderbrand. In this #1 bestselling page-turner from the “queen of beach reads” (New York Magazine), a Nantucket novelist has one final summer to protect her secrets while her loved ones on earth learn to live without their golden girl.
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs brings us her most ambitious and provocative work yet, in a searing and timely novel that explores the sustaining power of women’s friendships with “The Oysterville Sewing Circle.”
From the New York Times bestselling author of “How to Walk Away,” Katherine Center of Houston, comes a stunning new novel about courage, hope and learning to love against all odds with “Things You Save in a Fire.” We also received “The Lost Girls of Paris” by Pam Jenoff, an unforgettable story of courage and friendship during wartime. Check it out at the library.
Donnice Carruth is director of the Dickens County-Spur Library, in Spur.
