Well, Mother’s Day has come and gone. The library has completed the first weekend of our plant sale, which will last for two more Saturdays. It is a big fundraiser for the library and a fun event for board members and staff. We have a nice variety of hanging baskets, shrubs, and perennials. We are still looking for donations of divided perennials to sell the next two weekends. I have to get out this week and dig some things up!
I am starting an e-mail list to send out a list of the new books purchased at the library each month. If you are interested in receiving a list of new books send me your e-mail address. I will send out the first list at the beginning of June. We are changing the way we add books to the library. In the past there has been a waiting period during which new books were at the library but not yet ready for circulation; people could look at the books and put their names on them ahead of time. Now books are ordered and on the shelf in just a couple of days. It will be difficult to know what has been added to the collection.
I am in the middle of Star of the Sea by Joseph O’Connor (Sinead O’Connor’s brother). I think I like it. It takes place on a ship traveling to America from Ireland that is full of passengers fleeing the potato famine. It is a bit melodramatic and contains an unlikely love story but thus far has kept my interest. I almost stopped reading because I have so many books waiting but am plowing on. It is quick.
