A new book of fiction by Nicole St. John called ‘‘Guinever’s Gift’ is now availabe at the library. The author superby re-creates an ancient legend ‘and at the same time weaves a gripping and suspenseful temporary tale which makes this dramtic story Miss St. John’s best novel to date. This story is the love and the tragedy between an elderly husband, his young comrade and his fatal young wife. “The Cosmic Connection’ by Carl Savar is ‘An extraterestrial per- spective.” Writing in non-technical aie «ue for the citizens of planet Earth, Dr. Sagan describes the quest for life out there and relates the new astronomical discoveries to the deepest human problems. ‘‘We live,” says Dr. Sagan, ‘in the galactic boondocks, where the action isn’t” Dr. Sagan claims we are all starfolk and this book will change the per- spective of every reader. Have you ever asked for a certain book or a book on a particular subject which was not immediately available at the library ? Has the member of the staff who was helping you offered to try to get it from another library on ‘Interlibrary Loan’? The Back Mountain Memorial Library has a teletype machine in the main building which is connected to all the libraries in the district. If a book is not available here, a request is sent to the Barre, which is the source of all the requests and they will see that the book is located somewhere in the district, if available, and deliver it to the Back Mountain within a few days for your use. The van from Osterhout delivers to the Back Mountain every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So, if you don’t see what you want, ask for it and every effort will be made to have it available for you.
