May happenings at the SLCC Library
Sharon Lavender
With summer fast-approaching, most winter residents have left for cooler places. Many clubs and organizations take a break, and the calendar is less crowded. The pace is slower, with more time to enjoy a great book.
Be sure to visit our library to find that perfect book to transport you to another time or place. Find that biography that will inspire or amaze you. Be sure to check out that new release that you missed when it was first published. Our library has all of these books and many, many more. Maybe a cozy mystery is just your cup of tea. We have end shelves devoted to cozies. Westerns are always very popular. Come see what we have to offer for your reading enjoyment.
Look for these new arrivals: Duel to the Death, by J.A. Jance; The Rising Sea, by Clive Cussler; Fifty-Fifty, by James Patterson; The Escape Artist, by Brad Meltzer; The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah; The Punishment She Deserves, by Elizabeth George; The City of Endless Night, by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston; The Point of Contact, by Tom Clancy; and The Wife, by Alafair Burke.
Please be sure to return all hardback books with their covers. Thank you and good reading to all.
