Our Telus Smart hubs and iPads are now available for checkout. The loan period is for 1 week with 1 renewal, possibly 2 if no one else is waiting for it. The Hubs have been popular for those with no internet. You can take them out separately, or together if you need them for a Zoom meeting or FaceTime with your family. Lynda Winfield, our librarian, would be most happy to help you with this.
New to the library is Stories From The Rocking Chair by Celia Dewane, a long time resident of Longview. It is full of stories that make you laugh, cry and ponder.
New books arrive to the library every month. Stop in and check them out. We also have a large selection of DVDs and some great literacy kits filed with games, toys and activities.
Some of the new books this month are: A Year in the Woods :Twelve Small Journeys into Nature by Ekel und Torbja Lysebo, Oh William by Elizabeth Strout and State of Terror by Louise Penny and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The two met in the Eastern Townships in Quebec and have become fast friends. Penny is an award winning author of mystery novels and a member of the Order of Canada that has contributed to the cultural life of Canada.
A good read is We Begin At The End, by Chris Witaker, a British crime writer. It is part thriller, part mystery and part Western. The story is about two children, one a teenage girl, Duchess, and her six year old brother, Robin. Their lives are ridden with neglect and hardship, but Duchess, like Scout Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird is strong, compassionate and cares for her brother and shelters him from a grim murder and its aftermath.
Happy Reading!
