The Magnificent Seven will be the movie today at 1:00 p.m. in the library meeting room. It is rated PG-13 and running time is 2 hours and 13 minutes. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel will be January 10th. We are showing the movies with closed captioning whenever possible. Hopefully this will encourage those who may have difficulties hearing the movies to attend.

A shout out to: Rio Overcast, Gary Anderson, Michelle Pruttis, Amber Brinkman, George Luce, Gale Jellum, John Shelstad, Colleen Overcast, Steve & Sherry Edwards, Donna Murdy, The Blue Horizon Camping Club and Chinook Pharmacy. As always, your generous donations, whether books, toys, or monetary are always appreciated.
We have one non-fiction book ready to go this week. “The Vanishing American Adult: Our Coming-of-Age Crisis--and How to Rebuild a Culture of Self-Reliance” by Nebraska Senator, Ben Sasse, warns the nation about the existential threat to America’s future. In “The Vanishing American Adult,” Sasse diagnoses the causes of a generation that can’t grow up and offers a path for raising children to become active and engaged citizens. He identifies core formative experiences that all young people should pursue: hard work to appreciate the benefits of labor, travel to understand deprivation and want, the power of reading, the importance of nurturing your body and explains how parents can encourage them.
If you like reading mysteries and thrillers, this is your lucky week. “The Child Finder” by Rene Denfeld is a haunting, richly atmospheric, and deeply suspenseful novel about an investigator who must use her unique insights to find a missing little girl. “Emma in the Night” by Wendy Walker is a psychological thriller. “The Wanted” by Robert Crais is an Investigator Elvis Cole and Joe Pike novel. They take on the deadliest case of their lives that seemed like a simple case—before the bodies started piling up. “Break Down” by B. A. Paris is a chilling novel. Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside the woman who was killed. Since then, she’s been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn’t have a baby. The only thing she can’t forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.
