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.

The summer is flying by.
We have recently added sever
al titles in large print, includ
ing Sue Grafton’s “N” Is for
Noose and W.E.B. Griffin’s
Behind the Lines. Thanks to
donations from some of our
generous patrons, we have
added several volumes by
Gilbert Morris, as well as
works by other authors of
Christian fiction.
During these many hot days
we’re especially thankful for
an air conditioning system
that works every day. We
appreciate the gifts from the
garden that some folks have
given us. We bought a new
video cabinet to store our ever
expanding collection of videos
and we have added some
videos, including “Gone With
the Wind, ” a gift from my par
ents.
We are glad that so many
people look to the library for
I ways to spend their leisure
time. Let’s all keep cool with a
book or video. See you soon!
