Library Notes for the week of May 19th


We are looking forward to summer for a number of reasons. Summer Reading starts and we have all those wonderful programs for our young readers. Be sure to check the program page of our website for dates and times. We also are starting a program we are calling Baby ‘n Me. This will be a fun time for moms and their little ones—those too young for our toddler story time. Mom and baby will enjoy stories, songs and activities geared especially for the under 2 crowd. If you have a little one, or know someone who has one, join us on Friday mornings beginning June 6th.

For some grown-up reading try one of these new titles off the new book shelf.
The Body in the Gallery by Katherine Hall Page. Faith's catering business has been slow with the downturn of the economy, so when her friend Patsy Avery proposes that she take over the cafĂ© at Aleford's Ganley Art Museum, it seems like a not-to-be-missed opportunity. And Patsy has an ulterior motive—she discovers that the Romare Bearden piece she lent the museum has been switched with a fake and wants Faith to snoop around to find the culprit.

The Angel by Carla Neggers. When Keira Sullivan, a young Boston illustrator and folklorist, decides to travel to Ireland to research a Celtic legend about three brothers battling for a stone angel, she pays no heed to warnings not to go from antique collector Victor Sarakis, even after Victor drowns under suspicious circumstances in the Public Garden pond.

Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews. The Cooking Channel is looking to add a new show to their line-up and has two chefs in the competition. Gina Foxton is a 30-year-old chef with a health-conscious approach to classic Southern fare and Tate Moody is the “kill it and grill it” cook from a show called Vittles. The competition between Gina and Tate ramps up when the network decides to turn their competition into a reality show.
