Wawa-news.com You can't hear the 'big picture'!
NEW BOOKS ON THE 7 DAY SHELF this week are; “The Au Pair” by Emma Rous, “The Silent Patient”, “The Better Sister” by Alafair Burke and “Redemption” by David Balcacci.
STAFF PICKS FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL ARE; “Accidental Heroes” by Danielle Steel, “Chasing the Night” by Iris Johansen, “An Evil Mind” by Chris Carter and this week’s feature is “A Dublin Student Doctor” by Patrick Taylor (from book jacket)
In the 1930s, fresh from a stint in the Royal Navy Reserve, and against the wishes of his disapproving father, Fingal O’Reilly goes to Dublin to study medicine. Fingal and his fellow aspiring doctors face the arduous demands of Trinity College and Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital. The hours are long and the cases challenging, but Fingal manages to find time to box and play rugby–and to romance a fetching, gray-eyed nurse named Kitty O’Hallorhan.
Dublin is a city of slums and tenements, where brutal poverty breeds diseases that the limited medical knowledge of the time is often ill-equipped to handle. His teachers warn Fingal not to become too attached to his patients, but can he truly harden himself to the suffering he sees all around him–or can he find a way to care for his patients without breaking his heart?
A Dublin Student Doctor is a moving, deeply human story that will touch longtime fans as well as readers who are meeting Doctor Fingal O’Reilly for the very first time.
INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICES have been suspended. Due to Doug Ford’s 50% budget cut to Public Library Services, OLSN (Ontario Library Services North and SOLS (Southern Ontario Library Services) have suspended the Interlibrary loan service. At this time, we are unable to borrow any books for our patrons. Once the effects of the budget cuts have been implemented it will be determined whether we can proceed with the interlibrary loan service.
