The summer programming is in full swing and the children are having a grand time. The Tiny Art Show has 23 participants, some visiting from the Okotoks library. The winners of the show will be announced in late August. Deanna Lavoie, a prolific Longview artist, is going to submit a small canvass that will be auctioned off sometime this summer, with the proceeds going to the library.
May I remind you that our boardroom is available to rent. It is a cozy, well lit room with a large table and comfortable chairs. Check this out with our librarian, Lynda Winfield.
For those of you who are following the goings on of Meghan and Harry, you will be thrilled to know they have bought the movie rights to Carly Fortune’ novel Meet Me At the Lake. This is yet another career path for the two, as movie producers for Netflix.
Carley Fortune, a Canadian, was editor in chief at Chatelaine magazine, before turning her hand to writing. Meet Me At The Lake, was listed as #1 on both THE New York Times and the GLOBE and Mail best selling lists. The book’s themes: childhood trauma, the loss of a parent, a car crash, and mental health issues, mirror the lives of Harry and Meghan. The movie will be coming out in a few month’s time.
We have many new books in our library after a spending spree by some very enthusiastic board members. Two of which are Fresh Water for Flowers by Valerie Perrin and The Godmother: Murder, Vengeance, and The Bloody Struggle of Mafia Women. Come and browse the others!
