Hello all, summer is in full swing here at the library, bugs abound with the Summer Reading groups! We have new materials in so check out our new materials page. I have finished the book “The Road Home” by Tommy Tenney & Mark Andrew Olson. A modern day take on the story of Ruth from the Bible. I am now reading the fourth book in the Meg Langslow series “Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon” by Donna Andrews. A great murder mystery series that is new to our library. Come in and see us!

Someone let me know we forgot to post who won our Mother’s Day contest! We actually had two winners. Karly Clinesmith wrote a poem about her mother to win the Memory Keepsake Album, and Donna Norton wrote a wonderful poem about her mother and won a bouquet of fresh flowers. We had 26 entries. We really enjoyed them all.

I just finished two books, The Shack by William P. Young. “This book has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress did for his. It’s that good!” Eugene Peterson. This book was very good and thought provoking. Then on the lighter side I just finished the 4th installment of the Maximum Ride series, The Final Warning by James Patterson. Not as good as the others but still a fun read.

Well as the school year winds down we are still reading away! I have read Airball: my life in briefs by Lisa Harkrader, which was a funny/good book and I am enjoying that new series, the Meg Langslow Mysteries, Murder with Puffins and Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos by Donna Andrews. Be sure to remember the Mother’s Day contest!

I just read Killing Floor by Lee Child and have started The Avion my Uncle Flew by Cyrus Fisher, a story about a teenager at the end of World War II, the fun part is that in the book the boy is learning French and you learn right along with him.
