Choose a subject, mass shootings, stock market tumble, but no. How about a fun summer read? I just put a display up on the kiosk of books with "August" in their titles...pretty clever, huh? "Summer Time and the Reading is Easy." Give them a peak, but mostly, remember that reading a good book can take you anywhere. How about "English, August" by Upamanyu Chatterjee, an Indian coming of age story, listed as a NY Review of Books classic. Just the name takes me away...or Faulkner's "Light in August" or "August Moon" by Jess Lourey, a murder by month mystery...Or then there's "The Guns of August."
Or you could re-read some Toni Morrison who is on display as well in one of our RIP displays. Her obit is with the display.
Tomorrow Congresswoman Annie Kuster will be here at 3pm to tour the library. She and her family have been regular library users for years. Her staff also arranged for some donations to the library from the Library of Congress' surplus book collection.
Okay, time to go home to the garden. Good news, we caught the woodchuck! The garden looks better already...
