Our Library of Things has been moved closer to the librarian’s desk so that it is more visible for our patrons. Some homeschoolers have joined us for our Bingo games and we hope they will continue to come.
Though our library is small, but welcoming, it is a very active one. In the past year we have lent out 3,007 items through our inter library loan system. We have brought in 640 items requested by our patrons. We have 2 public computers and a Telus hub available for loan. We have a total of 6,030 books in our collection. New to that collection is Three Days in June by Ann Tyler, Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy and Values by Mark Carney.
A delightful read is The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. It is an intimate novel told in the form of letters by a retired lawyer as she reminisces about her life, its accomplishments, its compassion, its betrayals and her feelings about aging. She corresponds with other contemporary authors, such as Joan Didion (Blue Nights), Ann Patchett (State of Wonder) and Abraham Verghese (Cutting for Stone.) Enjoy.
