Library Notes Week of March 15


We are excited to announce the library now has downloadable audiobooks available thanks to the Washington State Library. There are brochures at the library to help you walk through the process of checking them out to your computer, I-Pod or MP3 player. There is one little catch—you must establish your account at the library through one of our computers or your laptop using our WiFi. It should only take a few minutes to get you set up then you can download books at home. We have a link on our webpage where you can go straight to the NetLibrary, look at the collection, and download books after you have your account. Come by and we will get you started.

If you are looking for a new book to read, try one of these.

The First Rule by Robert Crais. Frank Meyer had the American dream-until the day a professional crew invaded his home and murdered everyone inside. The only thing out of the ordinary about Meyer was that- before the family and the business and the normal life-a younger Frank Meyer had worked as a professional mercenary, with a man named Joe Pike. The police think Meyer was hiding something very bad, but Pike does not. With the help of Cole, he sets out on a hunt of his own-an investigation that quickly entangles them both in a web of ancient grudges, blood ties, blackmail, vengeance, double crosses, and cutthroat criminal­ity, and at the heart of it, an act so terrible even Pike and Cole have no way to measure it. Sometimes, the past is never dead. It's not even past.

Catalyst: a Tale of the Barque Cats by Anne McCaffrey. Even among Barque Cats, Chessie is something special. Her pedigree, skills, and intelligence, as well as the close rapport she has with her human, Janina, make her the most valuable crew member aboard the Molly Daise. And the litter of kittens in her belly only adds to her value. Then the unthinkable happens. Chessie is catnapped from Dr. Jared Vlast's vet clinic at Hood Station by a grizzled spacer named Carl Poindexter.

Sizzle by Julie Garwood. After she unwittingly captures a shocking crime on camera, a rash of mysterious, treacherous incidents convince Lyra that she's trapped in a sinister scenario headed for a violent ending. Running scared, she turns to her best friend, Sidney Buchanan, whose connections bring dauntless and devilishly handsome FBI agent Sam Kincaid into Lyra's life. As the noose of deadly intrigue tightens and the feelings between them deepen, Lyra and Sam must place their faith in each other's hands—and stand together against the malevolent forces about to break loose.
