New books on the 7-Day Shelf this week are: “Has Anyone Seen My Toes” by Christopher Buckley, “Treasure State” by C.J. Box, “Oath of Loyalty” by Kyle Mills and “Dreamland” by Nicholas Sparks.
The Staff Pick of the Week is “Fall of Giants” by Ken Follett. From the book jacket:
It is 1911. The Coronation Day of King George V. The Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London. Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and to two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution. In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, “Fall Of Giants” moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.
The Wawa Public Library is once again raising funds for Alzheimer’s Social with a Purpose. If you would like to donate, please come into the library. All the funds generated from book and DVD sales will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society. Help us make a difference!
The Wawa Public Library invites everyone to drop into the library and try the interactive Playtable. Thanks to a very generous donation from Roberta Hammett, a former Wawa resident, who spent her formative years frequenting the library.
Roberta explained that she spent so much time at the library that she was given her own key and could access the library after hours when her summer job prevented her from accessing the library during regular hours. Roberta donated to the library with the request that funds be spent on technology in the library. We now have an interactive Play Table and a new public computer! We thank Roberta for her very generous donation. We are, without a doubt, ecstatic with our new acquisitions!
