Beyond the Best Seller

Tuesday, June 03, 2008

Our June list is out, and we have a broad variety of books to recommend on all topics and in many genres. But the thing that I am most excited about now at the start of the summer is our summer reading program for adults. It has been a few year since we had an adult summer reading program and we thought it was time to have this. After all, why should the kids have all the fun of reading and reporting and getting prizes? We are calling this program "Patron to Patron" because we want you the reader to report to other patrons what books you have been reading and what you thought of them. Participation is easy and no sign-ups are required. When you are in the Library simply get a book review form--they will be available at the Information desk in mid-June, and we will take your reviews starting June 19. You fill out a short review form with you comments/opinion of a book. We post it (anonymously) and your name goes into a drawing for a prize. How simple is that ? We are pleased that the Friends of the library have donated these great canvas tote bags that we will be drawing names for weekly. Write more reviews, get more chances to win! And as a bonus, voracious readers who submit four reviews will be awarded a $3 off coupon for a Friends of the Library book sale.
Everyone is looking forward to your reviews this summer!

    I love, love, love my library's summer reading program. I'm going to read anyway, and to win a prize? How great is that? Unfortunately, I have yet to win one, but maybe this year...

    First up on my "finished" list at the library is this fascinating look at firefighting in the mountains, One Foot in the Black. Just think back to last year, when California was so badly threatened/damaged -- this book kind of puts you in that situation. The hero is not only dealing with his career, he is coming to terms with his abusive father, who's also a firefighter. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this -- it's a really touching story.
