Wednesday, July 18th the library had a crowd of 50 people for a special Summer Reading program: The Magic of Sterling Dietz.
With only 2 years of experience in the art of magic and illusion, Dietz is taking the magic world by storm. He took 2nd in the world at the world magic Seminar in Las Vegas in Feb. and 1st place teen stage at the International Brotherhood of Magicians convention in Reno just 3 weeks ago. Not only that, he is on the honor roll at Lynden High School, where he is a student. What a treat.
If you are in the library be sure to check out our new books. Here are a few of the latest titles.

The book opens on the anxious Dorset Coast wedding suite dinner of Edward Mayhew and the former Florence Ponting, married in the summer of 1963; the looming dramatic crisis is the marriage's impending consummation, or lack of it.
