It’s At Your Library

There are a few days left for adults to participate in a tiny art activity.  Come by yourself, bring a friend, or, better yet, a group of friends for an hour or so of fun!  The Library will supply mini canvases (one per person), paint, and paint brushes to use at the Library to create your tiny masterpiece while supplies last.  The last day to paint is September 30.  We ask that you leave your mini painting so we can display all of them from October 1-26.  Artists may pick up their painting on October 28 or after. 

Thursday, September 26 is Johnny Appleseed Day!  Check out materials that day and receive an apple from a local orchard in honor of Johnathan Chapman, an American pioneer nurseryman.

The books highlighted in this article revolve around a missing person.  Will that missing person be found?  Will they be alive?  And what happens to those that are left behind?

“Twenty-five years ago, a young girl left home to walk to school.  Her younger sister soon followed.  But one of them arrived, and one of them didn’t.

“Willa’s sister’s disappearance has defined Willa’s life.  Everyone thinks her sister is dead, but Willa knows she isn’t.  Because there are some things that only sisters know about each other – and some bonds only sisters can break.

“Willa sees fragments of her sister everywhere – the way a woman on the train turns her head, the gait of that woman in Paris.  If there’s the slightest resemblance, Willa drops everything, and everyone, and tries to determine if it is her.

“When Willa is invited to a dinner party thrown by her first love, she has no reason to expect it will be anything other than an ordinary evening.  Both of them have moved on, ancient history.  But nothing about Willa’s life has been ordinary since that day her sister disappeared, and that’s not about to change tonight.
