Between the Covers – April 14

The library is open for curbside pickup only. Patrons are not permitted in the library at this time. Please place your book holds by calling the Circulation Desk at 705-856-2244 ext 290, emailing us at [email protected] or by accessing the Online Catalogue on our website at wawa.olsn.ca.

 

All library materials go through a sanitization process before they are checked out to the public. When materials are returned through the Book Drop, they are placed in a box for quarantine for a minimum of 72 hours. Staff is using gloves and masks when handling returned materials. After 72 hours, the material is checked in and wiped down with 70% alcohol solution.  Materials are then filed back into the collection and are ready to be checked out again.  This procedure is following the guidelines set by Ontario Library Services-North, Southern Ontario Library Services and the Algoma Public Health.

 

NEW BOOKS ON THE 7 DAY SHELF this week are; “The Paris Library” by Janet Skeslien Charles, “Downfall” by Robert Rotenberg, “Faithless in Death” by J.D. Robb and “The Power Couple” by Alex Berenson.

 

NEW MOVIES this week are: “A Beautiful Mind”, “Star Trek Generations”, “Come Play” and “The War with Grandpa”.  You can place a hold on DVDs as well as books.

 

STAFF PICK OF THE WEEK: Our Staff Pick of the Week this week is “Big Summer” by Jennifer Weiner. (from book jacket)

Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn’t spoken one word to Drue in all this time—she doesn’t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media—so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless.

Drue was always the one who had everything—except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne’s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She’s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend’s siren song.
