Library summer programs going well It seems like a long time since I’ve written, but it’s only been a few weeks. I traveled to central Illinois, where it was just as hot and humid as here. And we had a couple of raging thunderstorms there too. But now I’m back and try ing to catch up on all the items that magically appeared on my desk in my absence. I know we’ve received new books and they are already in the hands of readers looking for a way to beat the heat. We have more fiction on order, so if you don’t find the title you came looking for, there will no doubt be something else for you to try. I read two books while sit ting in airports. One was a col lection of short stories by Sharyn McCrumb, titled Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Some were better than others, as is often the case in collections. The other was the third mys tery in the gardening series by Ann Ripley, Death of a Political Plant. Quite enter taining and I was kept guess ing until the end. The Happy Bookers have been reading and discussing books for several months nowc They will meet at the library on Monday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. to discuss Carolina Moon by Jill McCorkle. In September the book discussion will center on Weight of Water by Anita Shreve. Everyone is welcome to attend. The writing workshop for middle school youth has been deemed successful by partici pants and leaders alike. In fact, they have decided to meet for a fourth week in order to concentrate on production of a commemorative volume of their writings. Dana Hay and I are so pleased that the young writers have displayed such enthusiasm. Since I haven’t had an opportunity to read any of the creative writing. I’m really looking forward to the finished product. Copies will be given to each participant and several will be added to the library’s collection, as well. We hope to have some available for purchase, too. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of the parents who have been so faithful about seeing that their youngsters arrive on time at the library each morn ing.
