QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

"The best of my education has come from the public library... my tuition fee is a bus fare and once in a while, five cents a day for an overdue book. You don't need to know very much to start with, if you know the way to the public library."

Lesley Conger

New Book, Week Starting 21st August

This weeks new book is: Lethal Justice - Fern Michaels
New novel in the Sisterhood series "Alexis was a successful broker whose career was on the rise. Bust that was before she was wrongly imprisoned for fraud. Suddenly her life was destroyed: convicted and thrown into prison for a year while the true criminals, Arden Gillespie and Roland Sullivan, spent the profits from the scam on themselves. It is time for the next revenge mission of the Sisterhood - a vigilante organization whose aim is to avenge crimes by the legal system." (taken from the cover)


QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

"Books to the Ceiling,

Books to the sky,

My pile of books are a mile high.

How I love them! How I need them!

I'll have a long beard by the time I read them."

Arnold Lobel
