Don’t let it put you off. This book is a short 240-page thrilling adventure into the world of rare book collecting and, of course, forgery. Adam Diehl is a rare book collector. He is bashed over the head, his hands severed from his arms, and left for dead. His extensive collection of rare books destroyed. Meghan, Adam’s sister, is devastated by the death of her only living relative and leans heavily on her boyfriend to come to terms with the violent murder and the fact that no suspect was arrested for the crime. Will, Meghan’s boyfriend and future husband, is the nar- rator of the book. We know that Will is a bit of an unsa- vory character. He has a histo- ry of forgery and he struggles with his addiction to pen and ink. Though there is no 12- step program to help him quit. He dearly loves Meghan and swears off forgery — forever. Ladies of Elks I loved the way Morrow described the relationship between Will and his mother. The tenderness and trust between them as she taught him calligraphy and to love the act of writing. I also appre- ciated the relationship between Will and his lawyer father who introduced his son to the world of collecting rare books. “Book collecting,” he (Will’s father) memorably told me, though at the time I could- n’t fully grasp his theory, “is an act of faith…” I liked Will but I did not completely trust him, perhaps because he broke faith with his father. If you like a mystery and an unreliable narrator then this book is for you. Lego Club The library’s Lego Club meets this Friday at 2:30 p.m. in the Bromley Room. All young builders and designers and engineers are invited to this fun-filled activ- ity.

Let’s create tomorrow, together. You can always ask if we can order it on “interlibrary loan.” Interlibrary loan is a system where we search for the mate- rial at other libraries and request to borrow it for you. Books are usually the easiest to borrow. Many libraries have restrictions on lending audiovisual materials such as DVDs, videos and recorded books, as well as special col- lections such as genealogy or local history, but it’s always worth a try to see if we can borrow it. The next time you need something just stop by the ref- erence desk and we will see if we can help you out.
