14 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | OCTOBER 2017 | Welcome to your Four Seasons library! We have been so pleased to see so many new hardbound books donated lately. They are fantastic! Notice that we have very full shelves again. We will simply rotate books to keep it full. We so hope you were able to join us for the inspiring talk Lynne Spreen presented. We hope she encouraged you to find your passion in these years of retirement. Thank you Lynne — we appreciate you. And, a big thank you to Kay Masonbrink for her homemade cookies. We are excited to be involved in the Fall Marketplace. Please visit our table. We have a free gift for you! We will have books available to check out that each member recommends. All of us have favorites. If you have been wanting to donate books, cards or calendars for the downtown library do bring them. The downtown library is in real need of children's books. Of course we need your newer books. Thank you in advance. Do you have books at home by Patterson? We usually have a full shelf of just his books but we are missing many. Sometimes residents take several of an author's books home at one time. If you do, please bring one or two back. We are able to display hardbound books from 2006 up. Our paperback books are displayed from 2013 - 2017. We realize that is only four years but the shelves have been full. Our non-fiction books are on the very top shelf. I want to remind you that you may go to the front desk for help in reaching that top shelf. We have an "easy reach" hanging on the left hand wall for reaching that high but if you are short that may not help. I have somehow managed to pull a book or two down trying to use it. Please bring your July through October magazines to be displayed. We think that will help in keeping the magazine rack fuller. Thank you for your donations and returning what you borrowed. The committee voted on NOT displaying catalogues even though some like the idea. Our holiday time is almost here so our mailboxes will be filled with them. Just share them with a neighbor. Please remember that the front desk has a HUGE collection of DVD's that you may borrow. We have books on CD. Check the cabinets under the D-E fiction book shelves. Four Seasons albums are in the cabinets that we once had children's movies. I believe it is under the N-P fiction section. Enjoy your library to its fullest potential. We appreciate you and love hearing that you appreciate my hard working volunteers. From Blair: "The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think." ~ James McCosh Committee member Cookie read, Never Look Away by Lindwood Barclay. The story starts off with a freaky prologue regarding a need to find a key on a drugged man to unlock his attaché case attached to his wrist. When no key can be found and no combination given there is only one way to "take" the case. They leave with the case. David Harwood is happily married to his wife, Jan, and they have a four-year-old son, Ethan. David works as a reporter for a small town paper. He finally has what he considers a lead for a breaking story that will make him famous. The paper keeps shutting the "story" down. At the same time his wife has been talking to him about her recent depression. She has even considered suicide. David asks her to see their doctor for help while he does all he can to lift her spirits. They plan a great day with their son at an amusement park. It starts out as a pleasant day. David has to go to the car for a minute and his hysterical wife Jan runs to him yelling that their son has been taken. David runs all over the park and does find Ethan in his stroller off by his self. As he tries to find his wife to let her know all is well, she cannot be found anywhere. Thus begins a nightmare that David must investigate on his own. The police believe David has killed his wife. He has the support of his mother and father who keep Ethan while David runs down clues to find Jan, if she is alive. It has great subplots with a web of lies and deceit. It is a good read and you will be suspicious all the way to the end. You will find it in the hardbound section. Library Committee
