What’s happening in the Homer Library? The Summer Reading Program, with the theme Superheroes Powered by Books, is in full swing. Twenty-six children have read a total of over three dozen books for a total reading time of 501 minutes. Christine Cunningham has shared with us the joys and trials of owning a small town business. (Ask her what pop is called where she grew up, and why it’s called that. Hint, it’s the same as where Chris grew up.) Policeman John Rouse talked about his training and experiences as Homer’s chief of police, and how technology has increased law enforcement’s ability to do the job. We will have one or more special guests in the coming weeks.
The DVDs have been moved and are now on the shelves. If you need help finding them, please ask.
Our new materials in adult fiction are Eleven on Top by Janet Evanovich, High Plains Tango by Robert James Waller, The Italian Secretary by Caleb Carr, The Revelation by Beverly Lewis, Summer of Roses by Luanne Rice, Two Trains Running by Andrew Vachss, and Velocity by Dean Koontz.
In the junior department, we have a variety of graphic fiction and non-fiction. The Lost Years of Merlin can be found in the young adult section but is also appropriate for older junior children as well. We have four books of that series by T. A Barron, and the fifth book is on order.
Our newest DVD is Racing Stripes. We also have three DVDs from the Stuttering Foundation. These can be of great help to anyone who stutters.
On these hot summer days, there is a cool place in Homer, the library. We are open weekdays from 2 to 7 pm. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our phone number is 896-2121.
