It's a beautiful rainy day. A perfect day for reading a book. I think every day is a book day. For Mother's Day hopefully you received a great book as a gift or you gifted yourself. Then pass it on to your library here. Four Seasons residents keep the library very current. Our magazines are working out well. We display three months in the magazine rack and donate older ones to the Hemet library downtown. Please bring April, May and June magazines to be displayed and older ones will be transported downtown. We are so happy to be of help to the Hemet Library. Sunshine has asked Kathye Caines, who is the head of many programs at the Hemet Library, to speak at Four Seasons in June. Several of our members volunteer at the downtown library. You will be surprised at what is available there. They need more volunteers to help with their literacy programs and other areas. Please plan to attend to show our love of books. We have too many audio books on tape. And, too few audio books on CD. It was determined to donate any radio show tapes to the Season Players for ideas. Also older tapes will be donated to the Hemet library. That will make room for another shelf of CD books. The hardbound book section is filled with very current books thanks to our residents. We still cull prolific authors under the year 2003. If your donated book is under the year 2000 it will go straight downtown. This is only from a lack of room. We have had several residents with suggestions on how to add more shelves but we need to work with what we have. It truly is a beautiful room and perfect the way it is. Our paperback section is now holding books from 2010-2015. If you bring older ones we will donate them downtown. I know it can be frustrating when it is a series but you can go to the Hemet library and pick up older ones cheap. That happens to me when I find a new author I like. And, I have bought older books by that author downtown. We still need some travel books. Feel free to donate the books used for your trips. And don't forget the large DVD movie selection at the front desk. Summer is just about here and, that means reading time! Enjoy your library! Committee member Cookie read Return of Alex Cross Hope To Die by James Patterson. Patterson pulled a fast one in the book by ending it at a crucial point. It was set up for a second book and I had to wait until he wrote it! All of the Alex Cross family has been abducted by a complete madman, Thierry Mulch. It is revealed in this book how Mulch was able to capture the family. Cross races to save his family as bodies start to appear. Mulch wants to create the perfect killer and has chosen Alex to be the guinea pig in this experiment of good versus evil. It is a book you won't want to put down. Many twists and turns but it does finally bring the story to its ending. Found in the hardbound section. Library Committee | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | June 2015 | 14
