Library Notes for the Week of July 2nd

We had lots of fun at the Mad Hatter Tea Party, Sunday, June 24^th.  Several people wanted the instructions for KJ’s peanut butter dessert.  Stop by the library and pick up a copy of the recipe.  We are looking forward to making a mosaic trivet on the 10^th of July and Andy Locke, the ventriloquist, will be here on the 12^th.  You won’t want to miss either of those Summer Reading Program events. Both will be a 10 a.m. at the library.

When you stop by the library, check our new books.  Here are some you might be interested in checking out. 

Blood Line by James Rollins.  Somali pirates hijack a yacht off the coast of the Horn of Africa, kidnapping a young pregnant American woman. Commander Gray Pierce is enlisted for a covert rescue mission into the African jungle. The woman is no rich tourist: she's Amanda Gant-Bennett, daughter of the U.S. president. Suspicious that the kidnapping masks a far more nefarious plot, Gray must confront a shadowy cabal which has been manipulating events throughout history...and now challenges the current presidency.

The Nazis know he’s coming—a secret bureau within the Reich Foreign Ministry has for years been waging political warfare against France, using bribery, intimidation, and corrupt newspapers to weaken French morale and degrade France’s will to defend herself. For their purposes, Fredric Stahl is a perfect agent of influence, and they attack him. What they don’t know is that Stahl, horrified by the Nazi war on Jews and intellectuals, has become part of an informal spy service being run out of the American embassy in Paris.
