Strange Piece of Paradise
by Terri Jentz
Monday, May 19th -- 7:00 p.m.
In 1977, Terri Jentz and her Yale
roommate, Shayna Weiss, make a cross-country bike trip. They pitch a tent in the desert of central Oregon. As they are sleeping,
a man in a pickup truck deliberately runs over the tent, then attacks them with an ax. The crime is reported in newspapers
across the country. No one is ever arrested. Both women survive, but Shayna has amnesia, while Terri is left alone with memories
of the attack--their friendship is shattered. Fifteen years later, Terri returns to the town and makes an extraordinary discovery:
the violence of that night is as present for the community as it is for her. Slowly, her interviews with the townspeople yield
a revelation: many say they know who did it, and he is living freely in their midst. Terri then sets out to discover the truth,
and ultimately finds herself face-to-face with the alleged psychopath.
This month's non-fiction selection should
make for fascinating discussion. Please join us on May 19th and if you need to read a copy of the book before that day,
call us or ask at the front desk!
Summer Reading 2008
It's
time to get ready for summer reading at the Broken Bow Public Library and this year's theme is "Catch the
Reading Bug!"
Because so many children
now participate in summer reading, this year we are offering three story times-one for grades 3-5th on Tuesday afternoons
at 2:00 and two for the preschool-2nd grade on Friday mornings at either 10:00 or 11:00. All children regardless of their
ages are invited to be here on Thursday afternoons at 2:00 for special speakers and we've added movies for all children
on Wednesdays at 2:00! We do ask that children pre-register and those forms are available at the circulation desk. It would
be great if the forms were returned by May 23rd.
Participants earn prizes by reading or being read to 30 minutes
each day. A child can earn a prize each week and if a child turns in 6 reading sheets, they are eligible for a grand prize
and a special summer reading t-shirt.
The program is open to
all reading levels and is free to all children so don't miss out on Summer Reading 2008 - It all starts on May 30th so
come and "Catch the Reading Bug" at the Broken Bow Library!!
