This
Week at the Library
September 1 2020
Sweet heavy scents of apple
orchards... piles of leaves are tossed into the air... rakes scrape across
lawns... flannels rest lazily... gusts of wind gently knock on windows... brown
leaves glow gold under the warm setting sun.... We welcome September!
Our ‘Porch Side
Requests” and “Library Appointments” will continue into September.
·
Requests
may be directed to sturbyne@rumneylibrary.org anytime 24/7 and we will do our best to
fill your request and set it on my porch (36 Buffalo Road) for you to pick up.
Good news... Interlibrary loan will be starting in another week or two!
·
We are
setting up appointments for our patrons who feel comfortable coming into the
library. We have set aside Wednesdays from 2 til 5 and Saturdays 10 til noon
for appointments. Please email me at sturbyne@rumneylibrary.org to request a time.
We always enjoy
seeing and hearing from our preschoolers... Ms Jane has been sending each and
every one a weekly email complete with a special story to listen to and ideas
for crafts and activities. Is your preschooler on our list? Do you know of any
other preschoolers who might like to be included??
We have added some
new titles to our collection...This week featuring Adult Fiction...
·
The
Pull of the Stars by Emma
Donoghue... takes us to Ireland, 1918... a maternity ward during a terrible flu
and the end of the First World War.... a new classic of hope and survival
against all odds
·
Force
of Nature by Jane
Harper... Actually we have added three new mysteries by Ms Harper to our
collection and they are being very well received... Fans of “Who dun it?” must
like to check out this “new to us” author
·
A
Walk Along the Beach by
Debbie Macomber... Two sisters learn
from each other’s strengths as they discover that even in the darkest moments,
family is everything
·
Gateway
to the Moon by Mary
Norris... a beautiful novel of shared history that weaves the legacy of the
Jews in the New World into the large American story... a moving and memorable
portrait of a family and its journey through the centuries
·
Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore... takes us to
Odessa, Texas, in 1976 for a haunting exploration of the intersections of
violence and race, class, and region... this tender novel illuminates women’s
strength and vulnerability and comes highly recommended by Ann Patchett!
·
Thanks
to a longtime patron, we have added several novels by New England favorite,
Kenneth Roberts to our collection. Mr. Roberts relinquished his position as
Saturday Evening Post correspondent in 1930 to write his first novel, Arundel.
Each of his novels takes us back to a special part of our New England history.
These novels are housed with our ‘Classical Fiction”... hope you will check
them out!
Sending all our
good wishes your way... We so miss seeing you all on a regular basis. Take care
and do come see us!
