This Week - December 13 - 18, 2021

Wow! This week will end one week away from Christmas Day! Is everyone ready? Looking for any last-minute gifts? Check out our Book Sale – lots of good choices for everyone on your gift list and you will be supporting our “Button Up” project which will commence at the end of January. We have several heat saving projects including new insulation in the attic scheduled and Shakes and Shingles will be here to make it all happen.

Monday, December 13th – 10 til 12 is Family Fun Time!

Several young families meet here in the library each week on Monday morning. Everyone comes masked and it gives all ages a pleasant visit with other families. The adults enjoy getting to know each other and the kids enjoy being kids. Please come in the back door and leave boots on the trays provided before heading downstairs to Merrill Hall. Email Margaret with any questions… MFabaLMT@gmail.com

New Adult Fiction

1.     The Sentence by Louise Erdrich (2021) – This read, which takes place in a bookstore, asks what we owe to the living, to the dead, to the reader, and to the book…. A funny ghost story along with a tale of passion and a complex marriage, and of errors made along the way.

2.    A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins (2021) – a literary suspense novel combining some psychological menace along with social unease…a murder and three women with connections to the victim… Shari La Pena fans will discover a new favorite author!

3.    If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy (2021) - #1 in a new series! Imagine a beloved fairy tale filled with self-love and of believing in the happy ending each and everyone us deserves.

4.    Count the Ways by Joyce Maynard (2021) – Eleanor and Cam meet at a crafts fair in Vermont in the mid-1970s and within a few years are living on a New Hampshire farm with their three children….a story of home, parenthood, love, heartbreak, hope and forgiveness reminding us that with great sorrow comes great joy.

5.    The Butler by Danielle Steel (2021) – Thank you to our Danielle Steel provider again… another compelling, can not put down, quick read! And a Parisian setting. You cannot go wrong!

With a visit to the library! We are open Mondays 10 – 1, Wednesdays 12- 4 and Saturdays 10 – 1.
