I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone the best and most blessed Christmas ever!

I so enjoy everyone who comes into the library. I consider all of you friends and I am most thankful for you this Christmas season.

We have some great new books here at the library.

There will be about a dozen more after January, but we still have new ones coming in for Christmas.

Here are a few:

“The Hidden Flame” by Davis Bunn and Janette Oke - this is Book Two of the Acts of Faith seriesby these two popular Christian authors. Abigail has noticed a handsome Roman officer watching her once again while she attends a wedding. As a sound of horses fleeing over cobblestones, the entire community of believers stand in stunned silence. Once again their world has changed with a vivid reminder of who they were, where they were. Aliens in their own land. Judeans, yes, but viewed as enemies by their own religious leaders as well as the Romanconquerers. Out of the silence comes a confident whisper, “Go with God,” breathes Peter, his arm outstretched toward the alley through which they would flee.

“True Blue” by David Baldacci- Mason Perry was a firebrand cop on the D.C. police force until she was kidnapped and framed for a crime. She lost everything and spent two years in prison. Now she’s back on the outside and focused on one mission: to be a cop again. Her only shot to be true blue again is to solve a major case on her own, but even with her police chief sister on her side, she has to work in the shadows. A vindictive U.S. attorney is looking for any reason to send Mace back to prison.

Then Roy Kingman entersher life. Roy is a young lawyer who aided the poor until he took a high-paying job at a law firm in Washington. Mace and Roy meet after he discovers the dead body of a female partner at the firm. As they investigate the death, they start uncovering surprising secrets from both the private and public world of the nation’s capital. Soon, a fairly routine homicide takes a terrifying and unexpected turn - into something complex, diabolical and lethal.

These are just a few of our good new books. Come by and check them out!
