New at the library this week are Robert Ludlum’s “The Bourne Deception” by Eric Van Lustbader and “Finger Lickin’ Fifteen” by Janet Evanovich.
Not new, but new to us, are “Murder on K Street” (2007) by Margaret Truman, “On, Off” (2006) by Colleen McCullough and “Mortal Danger and Other True Cases” by Ann Rule.
Even though Summer Reading Programs are over, we want to encourage you to keep bring the children to the library.
We have a nice children’s area where you could read books to them and they can work puzzles and just play.
It is so important that children be exposed to books early and often.
Summer Reading Program wound up with a bang with Jennifer Lance, the “Critter Lady,” doing a wonderful presentation last Tuesday.
Her imitations of owls is just amazing! And the children seemed to enjoy being able to touch some of the animals and see others.
We so appreciate her visiting our library and hope to have her back next year.
The library will be closed Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4 for the holidays. Have a safe and fun 4th of July and we will see you next week!

There may be some confusion among the top critics none of us pay any mind to on what films deserve the highest accolades as award season progresses, but as far as I’m concerned, a certain equestrian title is making a pretty strong case itself.

‘Tintin’ may be unsinkable come award time
There’s something to the idea that animation movie makers may have better figured out the art of story telling and could certainly teach a majority of their peers in the live action arena how to weave a plot.

‘The Muppets’ welcome in sentimental return
While bias is a position I try to leave to the talking heads of television, every now and again I come across a film I anticipate so much it’s hard for it to disappoint.

‘Chipwrecked’ floats better than first sequel
When it comes to the three most recognized singing rodents this side of the milky way galaxy, one wouldn’t think the term gimmick would be anything more than description as usual.
-
‘Holmes: Game of Shadows’ wows in witty sequel
Though I could be struck down by the critic gods at any moment, one thing Hollywood seems to get right more than when I was growing up is the art of the sequel.

‘Gen. Rex: Agent of Providence’ not even a noob’s paradise
As someone who has witnessed the best and worst video games have had to offer since ET almost killed consoles in the early years, I consider my range of terrible rankings to be rather flexible.

Stark caps off the year with Fine Dining
Pride in the local scene has always been a part of what drives Pauls Valley residents to make what is otherwise a small town compete with far larger peers.

‘Arthur Christmas’ best holiday flick in years
Welcome to holiday movies anonymous, the only support group where you can admit you are just like everyone else and watch the same holiday specials well past a sane number of times.
