Named Most Anticipated Book of the Year in Wall Street Journal
On a rainy, cold day in November, young Victor sets out to join the throng of WTO demonstrators determined to shut down the city. Over the course of one life-altering afternoon, the fates
of seven people will change forever: foremost among them police Chief Bishop, the estranged
father Victor hasn't seen in three years, two protesters struggling to stay true to their nonviolent principles as the day descends into chaos, two police officers in the street, and the
coolly elegant financial minister from Sri Lanka whose life and country hinge on getting through
the angry crowd, out of jail, and to his meeting with the President of the United States. When
the Chief reluctantly unleashes tear gas on the unsuspecting crowd, it seems his hopes for
reconciliation with his son, as well as the future of his city, are in serious peril. Victor is on a
journey toward whatever lies beyond anger and outrage.
Contemplating suicide after nearly a decade at war, Levi sits down to write a note to his best
friend Nick, explaining why things have to come to this inevitable end. Years earlier, Levi--a sergeant in the army--made a tragic choice that led his team into ambush, leaving three soldiers
dead and two badly injured. During the attack, Levi risked death to save a badly burned and
disfigured Nick. His actions won him the Silver Star for gallantry, but nothing could alleviate the
guilt he carried after that fateful day. He may have saved Nick in Iraq, but when Levi returns
home and spirals out of control, it is Nick's turn to play the savior, urging Levi to write. Levi begins to type as a way of bidding farewell, but what remains when he is finished is not a suicide
note. It's a story in which the beginning is the end, the story's end is the real beginning of Levi's
life, and the future is as mutable as words on a page.
Despite his fame, Eli Page is a riddle wrapped in a myth, inside decades of mask-making. His
past is so shrouded in gossip and half-truths that no one knows who he is behind the act. Jack
Wyeth, a budding writer, joins Eli in Galesville, a small town on the border of New York and Vermont, only to learn that the musician’s mind is failing. As he scrambles to uncover the truth,
Jack is forced to confront his own past, his own hang-ups, and his own fears. At the same time,
he falls for a local artist who has secrets of her own, he becomes linked to a town controversy,
and he struggles to let go of his childhood idols and bridge the divide between myth and reality.
The Illegal is the gripping story of Keita Ali, a refugee―like the many in today’s headlines―compelled to leave his homeland. All Keita has ever wanted to do is to run. Running
means respect and wealth at home. His native Zantoroland, a fictionalized country whose tyrants are eerily familiar, turns out the fastest marathoners on earth. But after his journalist father is killed for his outspoken political views, Keita must flee to the wealthy nation of Freedom
State―a country engaged in a crackdown on all undocumented people. There Keita learns
what it means to live as an illegal: surfacing to earn cash prizes by running local races and assessing whether the people he meets will be kind or turn him in. Set in an imagined country
bearing a striking resemblance to our own, this tension-filled novel casts its eye on race, human potential, and what it means to belong.
Full of whimsy and gentle ironic humor, Noah’s Wife is a wise and poignant novel that draws on
the motifs of the biblical flood story to explore the true meaning of community, to examine the
remarkable strength of the human spirit, and to ask whether hope can exist even where faith
has been lost. When young minister Noah and his dutiful wife arrive at their new post in the
hills, they've reached a gray and wet little town where it’s been raining for as long as anyone
can remember. Noah’s wife is determined to help her husband revive this soggy congregation
but soon finds her efforts thwarted by her eccentric new neighbors, among them an idiomwielding Italian hardware store owner, a towering town matriarch, and a lovelorn zookeeper determined to stand by his charges. Overwhelmed, Noah’s wife fails to realize that Noah, too, is
battling his own internal crisis. Can she find the fragile ties to bind them?

We are pleased to announce that the library has received a $3,500
National Science Foundation grant from the Califa Library Group.
This grant is for the library to provide science-based programs for
adults. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) and
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math) are popular topics for children's education, but
rarely mentioned in relation to adults. Attendees will read a pre-announced popular book selection, then
come to the library for an event in which they discuss the book, and then watch and discuss a short human
interest video where scientific ideas touched on in the book intersect everyday life, sort of "book club
meets science café." Rural Gateways is funded through the National Science Foundation and was created
through a collaboration of Dartmouth College, The Califa Library Group, the Association of Rural and
Small Libraries, Dawson Media Group, and the Institute for Learning Innovation.
For National Library Week, we kept track of everyone who renewed
their library cards, or applied for a new library card. We drew names
from the list and the following were winners! Arlene B. won a Kindle
Fire. Jocelyn E. and Sara S. won Ruler gift cards.
