This Week at the Library... September 1 2020

 

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!
