The library is up and running with everything back to normal. All the FNMI (First Nation Metis Inuit) books have been recataloged and shelved for easier access.
The library is partnering with Tracy Howk, a longtime resident of Longview, and FCSS Covid relief. Tracy has put together journaling binders designed to track daily activities that address and explore the concept of mental wellness. Villagers can come in and get a copy for free.
Some interesting programs are being considered for the winter months. They are: Talks on early ranching, storytelling by an indigenous neighbour, and native plants and products.
New Books In:

The Shotgun Wedding , by William Johnstone (Western)
A Study in Murder, by Calie Hutton (Victorian mystery)
Thief River Falls, by Brian Freeman (Suspense)
A pleasant read is Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Gallahan. It is a beautiful love story that follows the relationship over many years between Joy Davidson and C.S. Lewis, a British writer and lay theologian. It is a philosophical and theological companionship, coupled with a shared love of literature. Gallahan writes movingly of our natural world, especially of the rolling English country side..
Happy Reading!
