Library News by Nancy Kozemchak Are you looking for a special memorial to remember a loved one? When relatives of friends die, a gift of a memorial book to the library honors the person and helps the library. A gift bookplate is placed in the volume and every time the book is used, someone is reminded of the departed person and your thoughtfulness. We have posted a list of the memory books which were purchased at the library for 1979. If you are interested in doing this for someone, please contact the library. These memory chontributions help the library financially and become a meaningful remembrance. That rather large silver box that is standing in frog the library is an outside book return deposit which was bought for the library with memorial money. This book drop has proved to be a very worth-while investment and is used quite heavily. It does save a few steps when you only want to return books. New books at the library: ‘Getting Help” by Elizabeth Robson is a woman's guide to therapy. It explains what therapy is, the different schools of therapy and kinds of therapists, and explains how to establish a working relationship with a therapist. Jack Higgins new novel, ‘Solo’ is a remarkable triangle in thirller fiction; a woman finds herself in love with two men determined to destroy each other. This is a heart-thumping roller coaster of suspense with a great climax as two men head for each other. “The Janus Imperative’ by Evelyn Anthony is tense, cunning, entirely ingenious. Janus is elusive, two-faced, hazardous to life. Fathom its secret at your peril. Fail to fathom it, and it’s world’s end. A traitor’s last words at his execution were: ‘Janus. . .find Janus’. Janus holds the power to complete her husband’s mission of german reunification and to renew her love. ~_OSORRY! | We will be closed May 31 - June 7 GETTING MARRIED OVERBROOK OPTICAL # 675-2163 at All Major Brands For © Appliances © Vacuum Cleaners © Snowblowers © Sewing Machines ® Razors e Car Stereos 421 Market St., Kingston 288-4508 601 Cedar Ave. Scranton 3 kV RR BIA
