We have two displays currently being shown at Meade Public Library, and we know you’ll want to come in and see them.

In the Mary Trainor Clay Display Case, Rick Burdge is showing part of his “Bayonet” collection.  This is a very unique collection, and we feel very fortunate to be able to show it.

In the Emily Pinnick Room, numerous women from Meade are displaying their quilts.  We had so many quilts that we are also showing some of them in the main room of the library!  There are big quilts, baby quilts, banners, new and old, so don’t pass up the opportunity to see these beautiful pieces.

New On Our Shelves

Karen Kingsbury fans will be happy to know that we now have all of her books on our shelves.  On Every Side was published in 2006.  As with all of her books, it received excellent reviews.

Here is a short synopsis of the book:  After suffering the loss of his mother and separation from his sister and the girl he loved, Jordan Riley has filled the holes in his soul with anger. He rejects the God he leaned on in his youth and sues his hometown to have a popular statue of Jesus removed. The conflict causes him to cross paths with a spirited young newscaster named Faith, who opposes his lawsuit in surprising ways. Perhaps most amazing of all is the way Faith begins to disassemble the walls around Jordan’s heart. And there’s something very familiar about her…

Come in and check this book out today.   If you’d like to be placed on reserve, just give the library a call, and we’ll do that for you.

Lavonne Walter was the story time leader on February 1.  Her theme was “Hats, Hats, Hats.”  The children had a great time with the hats — wearing all the different and hats and also creating their very own.
