Come on in!  We have missed you! The rules are the same as before.  Masks must be worn covering mouth and nose. Everyone must sanitize their hands before entering the library.  There will be 15 minutes allowed for book browsing and 30 minutes allowed for computer use. All returned materials must be placed in the Drop Box for quarantine. There is a limit of 5 people at a time in the library not including staff. We ask that if you are not feeling well to come into the library. For those who can’t wear masks or for whatever reason cannot comply with AHU recommended measures, we are happy to continue curbside pickup!

 

NEW BOOKS ON THE 7 DAY SHELF this week are; “Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty” by Lauren Weisberger, “The Last Summer at the Golden Hotel” by Elyssa Friedland, “Aftermath” by Terri Blackstock and “Local Woman Missing” by Mary Kubica.

 

STAFF PICK OF THE WEEK: Our Staff Pick of the Week this week is “Notorious” by Allison Brennan.

(from book jacket) Maxine Revere has dedicated her life to investigating murders that the police have long since given up any hope of solving. A nationally renowned investigative reporter with her own TV show and a tough-as-nails reputation, Max tackles cold cases from across the country and every walk of life. But the one unsolved murder that still haunts her is a case from her own past.

When Max was a high school senior, one of her best friends was strangled and another, Kevin O’Neal, accused of the crime. To the disgrace of her wealthy family, Max stood by her friend, until she found out he lied about his alibi. Though his guilt was never proven, their relationship crumbled from the strain of too many secrets.

Now Max is home for Kevin’s funeral―after years of drug abuse, he committed suicide. She’s finally prepared to come to terms with the loss of his friendship, but she’s not prepared for Kevin’s sister to stubbornly insist that he didn’t kill himself. Or for an elderly couple to accost her at the airport, begging her to look into another murder at Max’s old high school. Max is more interested in the cold case at her alma mater than in digging around Kevin’s troubled life, but she agrees to do both. As Max uncovers dark secrets, she finds herself caught in a complicated web of lies that hit far too close to home. And it’s becoming increasingly clear that someone will do whatever it takes to make sure the truth stays buried.
