Why not settle down with a good book on a rainy spring day. Stop by and check out a book, CD, movie, or other material that you find interesting. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.
Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!
The Mars House
In the wake of environmental catastrophe, January, once a principal in London’s Royal Ballet, has become a refugee on Tharsis, the terraformed colony on Mars. In Tharsis, January’s job choices, housing, and even transportation options are dictated by his second-class status, and now a xenophobic politician named Aubrey Gale is running on a platform that would make it all worse: Gale wants all Earthstrongers to be surgically naturalized, a process that is always disabling and can be deadly.
James
When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.
The Princess of Las Vegas
Crissy Dowling has created a world that suits her perfectly. She passes her days by the pool in a private cabana; she splurges on ice cream but never gains an ounce; and each evening she transforms into a princess, performing her musical cabaret inspired by the life of the late Diana Spencer. On top of that, Crissy’s daily diet of Adderall and Valium leaves her more than a little tipsy, her senator boyfriend has gone back to his wife, and her entire career rests on resembling a dead woman. But when Crissy’s sister, Betsy, arrives in town with a new boyfriend and a teenage daughter, and when Richie Morley, the owner of Buckingham Palace Casino, is ruthlessly murdered in the Nevada desert, Crissy’s carefully constructed kingdom comes crashing down.
