Beneath the Wraps

                 I was volunteering at the library the other night and was given the assignment to find some missing books.  As I was searching the shelves I came across Heather Vogel Fredrick’s book – Pies & Prejudice from The Mother Daughter Book Club series. I grabbed it for the series title.  One of the books that Jaime and I had read at the library mother daughter book club was Pie by Sara Weeks ( here ). I did not see it as a play on words from the title “Pride and Prejudice” until later nor a book series.  Nor do I understand why something in the Juvenile section would have such a tiny font.  I have seen bigger fonts in the young adult.  So for the most part I have been reading with a magnifying glass.  That is getting tiresome.  Thus I may not finish.             I was also reminded of the Beehive Award when reading that this particular book is an Oregon award fi...

  Have you ever thrown unread magazines away?           I don ’ t like magazines overall.  Too many advertisements.  I like Reader ’ s Digest (easy to hold) and have read the Children ’ s Friend, New Era and Ensign Magazines (which I think have all been renamed within the last two years – at least the latter two which have been changed to the Strength of the Youth and Liahona).          I have never been an avid reader as my mom or youngest brother.  I get tired even when the book has been interesting.  Forget the magazine – or newspaper.  I enjoy going from cover to cover without having to search for the rest of the article.         As I age, I find I like reading off a touch screen in which I can control the size of the font.   I have thrown away unread magazines (though not church magazines but AARP) and feel bad that it hasn ’ t been read.   But I ’ m ju...

Myrtle Creek Library reopens Monday CARISA CEGAVSKE Senior Staff Writer The News-Review Carisa Cegavske Senior Reporter published June 30, 2017 Top of Form Bottom of Form The Myrtle Creek Library will reopen Monday with an all-volunteer staff, and kick off its summer reading program right away.

The Myrtle Creek Library is unique in the county in that it is now managed not by the local city council, but by the nonprofit Friends of the Myrtle Creek Library.
