Summer Reading
This term has really flown by for us here in the Library and I realize we've not posted in quite a while. It's been a great but busy year and I congratulate all of you who are graduating and moving forward with your lives. For those of you who will be here through the summer and next fall, it is time for the Library's Summer Reading list. Typically we share some of our favorite authors so that you have a lot to choose from. This year however, I decided to mix things up a bit and do something different. We are featuring some of our favorite reads over the years, most of which you probably have missed. Each week I'll highlight one or two on this blog. They are all on display in the Library so stop by and check one out. You can also scroll down and find the complete list on the left-hand side of this page.
We are open through the summer. During the breaks, the Library is only open from 8-5 Monday-Friday. Through the summer term, we have longer hours and will always provide book and movies to the Caldwell campus when we are open. So check out our latest DVDs, summer reading books or let us know if there's something you want that we don't have. We are happy to find it for you.
This week's feature books from the Summer Reading list are first, The curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon. Now, you may be thinking that this is a rather strange and abnormally long title but don't let that dissuade you. This book is a fascinating read. Mark Haddon has gone inside the mind of a young autistic boy whose dog has died. The book is all from young Christopher's point of view, opening a whole new world up to the reader with insights that are very profound to what life is like for those with autism. Highly recomme
nded.
Another book that you may have missed or not even realized there was a book is How to make an American quilt by Whitney Otto. You may have heard of the title from the 1995 movie based on this book starring no less than Wynona Rider, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burnstyn and Maya Angelou herself. The book is a quick and easy read with each page filled with the wonder and magic of discovering who you are and what the mysteries found in everyone's past.
Both of these novels we think you'll enjoy. There is much, much more at the Library, so come see us this summer. We'd love to help you find something just for you.
