Welcome to your Four Seasons beautiful library! It is created by you, the residents, and maintained by a committee that loves both Four Seasons AND books! I think this will remain our opening paragraph as it really explains why we have the best 55+ community library. Easter comes early this year and we have a great idea! Instead of Easter baskets and eggs let's go buy a new 2016 book to read. It can be hardbound or paperback. Take time to enjoy them and then share them with your Four Seasons residents by bringing them to our beautiful library. Please donate your January, February and March 2016 magazines to our library to be displayed at this time. Remember we do take all other magazines, any year, to the downtown library. They are displayed and given free to the community. Four Seasons is always involved in helping our communities. Once again we'd like to thank a resident for donating National Geographic magazines. Our paperback selection is becoming over crowded once again. We are still displaying the years 2011-2016. As we receive new ones we will need to adjust the year. We have been delighted with the hardbound books being donated and want to shelve as many as possible. We now display books from 2005 and up. If you treasure a "series," please keep the set if they are below that year. We could still use audio books on CDs. Please, no more audio books on tape. There also isn't a need for videos on tape. I will be donating most of the audio books on cassettes to the Hemet library. If you still have a tape player feel free to take a couple. Remember that the scrapbooks and newsletter binders were moved next to the religious section under our hardbound books. You will really enjoy looking at all the social events going back several years. We had too many to keep them on the coffee table. We are already experiencing more light in the days. Your library committee thinks that gives you more time to read! Keep turning pages… Committee member Char read The 6th Extinction: A Sigma Force novel by James Rollins. A military research center hidden in the Sierra Nevada Mountains sends out a frantic distress call that ends with a chilling order: "This is sierra, victor, whiskey. There's been a breach. Failsafe initiated. No matter the outcome, Kill us… Kill us all." The site is part of TECOMM, the U.S. Army Test Command. When help arrives they discover that everyone in the lab is dead — not just the scientists, but every living thing for 50 square miles is annihilated: every animal, plant, insect, even bacteria. The land is completely sterile and the blight is spreading. Only one team on earth has the scientific knowledge and military precision to handle this mission: Commander Gray Pierce and the Sigma Force! The dead scientists were working on a secret project, researching radically different forms of life on earth. But something set off an explosion in the lab and Sigma must contend with the aftermath. They have to find out what was being developed in the lab and how to stop it. Their search takes them to remote research facilities in Antarctica and Brazil, following clues in an ancient map rescued from the lost Library of Alexandria. This story has all the ingredients of a first rate adventure: mad scientists, a deadly plague, and of course the heroics of Sigma Force. Only one of the mad scientists has an evil intent: the sixth extinction — the end of humankind. The other two are trying to help Sigma. Is it already too late… Much of this sounds like science fiction, but at the end of the story Rollins gives us the scientific facts behind much of his plot.
