NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW

Stop by the library Friday afternoon, January 28 and be the first to see the new additions. There's already waiting lists going on some of them, so get in line! Three favorites....

Life by Keith Richards....yes that rocker of the Rolling Stones that is so near and dear to librarians hearts. If you are a Keith or Stones fan, get in line behind me for this one. On the best seller lists, this is sure to be popular.

Oh, and here's why he's extra dear to my heart.... "
When you are growing up there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equaliser." ~Keith Richards

The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card. "Card's newest series opener can't decide whether it's a thought experiment featuring a nifty magic system, a YA urban fantasy, or a series of fantasy interludes, so it settles for performing all three tasks satisfactorily, if not spectacularly." ~Publishers Weekly

Bloody Valentine by Melissa de la Cruz "Combined with all the glitz, glamour, and mystery fans have come to expect, this is sure to be another huge hit in the Blue Bloods series."
