Stop in and see us at our new location 733 Highway 101 (across from Safeway) Book Review “The Wonder” by Emma Donoghue Emma Donoghue, the author of the acclaimed “Room”, which later was made into a movie, this year published a new novel, The Wonder. In this book, Lib Wright, a young English nurse trained by the legendary Florence Nightingale, arrives in an impoverished Irish village with a strange mission. 11 year-old Anna O’Donnell is said to have eaten nothing for four months. With tourists thronging to see the child, and the press sowing doubt, the baffled community looks to an outsider to bring the truth to light. Lib’s job is sim- ple: stay in the girl’s bare room at all hours, watching her. An educated skeptic repelled by what she sees as ignorance and superstition, Lib expects to expose the fast as a hoax within days. But the long hours she spends with Anna begin to erode all her assumptions about the child, the Irish, and herself. Is Anna a fraud or a “living wonder”? Or is something more sinister unfolding right before Lib’s eyes?

Spruce Point Assisted Living & Memory Care Read the book - or at least make an honest and fair attempt at doing so - then return the book with a “blind date” evalu- ation form. The forms, besides being used to recommend new and wonderful books to readers, will also be used for prize draw- ings. The point is to take a risk and expand your reading interests. Sound fun? Be sure to try it out! Reporting Damaged Materials If you notice that a book is damaged once you’ve begun to read it or if you’re listening to an audiobook and a disc won’t play or you’re watching a DVD that is having problems, be sure to let library staff know when you return the item. We can’t fix the problem unless we know about it. It also helps us to determine if it’s a problem with a particular supplier or just with that one item. And our volunteer repairmen are wizards at repairing dam- aged books, DVDs, and CDs! So, don’t hesitate to let us know if there is a problem with any materials you check out.
