Our Summer Reading Program is almost over. I can hardly wait to see who wins the
bike!! With that done, we will start
planning some computer classes for our adult patrons. Let us know if you are interested or just look
for information at the library and sign up.
When you are in, you might want to check out one of these
books from our new book shelves.
Implosion: Can America Recover from Its Economic and Spiritual Challenges in Time? by Joel Rosenberg. In the midst of financial turmoil, political uncertainty, declining morality, the constant threat of natural disasters, and myriad other daunting challenges, many wonder what the future holds for this nation. Will history’s greatest democracy stage a miraculous comeback, returning to the forefront of the world’s economic and spiritual stage? Can America’s religious past be repeated today with a third Great Awakening? Or will the rise of China, Russia, and other nations, coupled with the US’s internal struggles, send her into a decline?
Love, Life and
Elephants by Daphne Sheldrick.
Daphne Sheldrick, whose family arrived in Africa from Scotland in the
1820s, is the first person ever to have successfully hand-reared newborn
elephants. Her deep empathy and understanding, her years of observing Kenya’s rich
variety of wildlife, and her pioneering work in perfecting the right husbandry
and milk formula have saved countless elephants, rhinos, and other baby animals
from certain death. In this heartwarming and poignant memoir, Daphne shares her
amazing relationships with a host of orphans.
Prague Winter by Madeleine Albright. Before
Albright turned twelve, her life was shaken by the Nazi invasion of
Czechoslovakia—the country where she was born—the Battle of Britain, the near
total destruction of European Jewry, the Allied victory in World War II, the
rise of communism, and the onset of the Cold War. Albright's experiences, and
those of her family, provide a lens through which to view the most tumultuous
dozen years in modern history.
