Mary Shelly's classic Frankenstein is one of this week's free offerings and the 2012 Odyssey
Award Winner Rotters by Daniel Kraus is the other.
These offerings
are not for the faint of heart, but great reads! Enjoy.
Victor Frankenstein learns the secret of producing life, and so,
by
putting together parts of various corpses, he creates the Frankenstein
monster. The monster is huge and disformed,
but no harm to anyone–until
constant ill treatment drives him to murder and revenge.
Grave robbing. What kind of monster would do such a thing?
Sixteen-year-old Joey’s life takes a very strange turn when his mother’s
tragic death forces him to move in with the father he has never known, a
strange, solitary man with unimaginable secrets.

It's SYNC week #4. This week's titles are reading for downloading. They are:
Once by Morris Gleitzman
After living in a
Catholic orphanage, Felix, a naïve Jewish boy, runs away and embarks on a
journey across Nazi-occupied Poland to find his parents. To Felix,
everything is a story, but as Felix’s journey gets increasingly
dangerous, he begins to see horrors that not even stories can explain.
Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2006 Audie Award Finalist
Letter From Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King.
The year is 1963.
Martin Luther King, Jr., sits in a jail cell and pens his defense of
non-violence against segregation in the margins of a newspaper. That
letter includes the line that will live throughout our history,
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Remember — grab these titles before they are replaced by a new pairing on June 27!
While the title availability is time-limited, your listening time is
not. Once you have downloaded the MP3 files, the audiobooks are yours to
listen to at your leisure.

EPIC Trainings. The class is for kids ages 7-14 and will be held
from 6-8pm. The cost is $20, payable in cash at the time of the class.
Children will learn the importance of proper behavior when home alone;
what to do when a stranger comes to the door, telephone tips, how to
react in a variety of accidents, etc.
To register call the library at 924-2637.
Due to lack of registration, the class scheduled for this coming Sat. has been cancelled.
