Things are happening at the library but they are not obvious unless you come in and look around. Each week more new arrivals are being prepared and placed on the shelves. Among them are some large print books and several that were special orders. If you requested a certain book, please check and see if it is in yet as many requests did not include the readers name. The Young Adult section has been re-arranged and is now in order and the youth section is in progress thanks to the hard work of Candice and Natalie Williams. Candice will be working full days on Thursday and is ordering the new books from Amazon, so check with her if you have a request or to see if your book is in yet. We are happy to report that our go-to gal, Mardell Sonnen, who incidentally took a few days off to spend time in a luxurious suite at St. Joseph hospital, is back home, on her way to recovery and will be back at the library soon. Story time for the pre school youngsters is still in progress every Tuesday morning from 10:30 to 11:30. This week was a pajama party complete with pillows, flashlights and lots of good stories. We would encourage you to help get the word into the community for the little ones to join in the fun and hear all the wonderful stories Miss Pollyanna has in store for them. If you have not had a chance to visit, please drop in and see the nice display of photography on display by artisan, Joyce Gehring Sonnen. If you or someone you know has a talent and willing to share with the public, please let us know so it can be displayed in the library. We have had a variety in the past that included paintings, photo’s, wood working. metal sculptures and pottery. April is National Library Month and the Library will be hosting an open house during one week so plan on attending and seeing what we have been doing down there.

Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling. Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha . . . and the secrets of her heart. Shadow and Bone is the first installment in Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Trilogy.
