Library Tidings News about the Siuslaw Public Library Library Tidings, a regular feature of the Siuslaw News, features news about upcoming Siuslaw Public Library pro- grams for adults and children, new books and videos, and other library news of interest to the community. Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge feisty and thoroughly engaging. Lord Henry muddles his way through life looking through the lens of a magnifier as he search- es for insects. He is guardian to Flora, Rollo, and Olive, the grandchildren of the Magister Governor. Alec, Lizzie, and Collin are all commoners with revolutionary tendencies. They have secrets and wonder — can they trust Verity? In “Which I Look Forward To The Future:” “Rebel Mechanics” concluded but did not end. The story of Verity, Lord Henry, and the rest of the cast of characters is not over, there are too many unanswered questions. I suspect a sequel is in the making. If so, I’m on board for the next installment. Rebel Mechanics: All is Fair in Love and Revolution By Shanna Swendson Book review by Susie Voth In “Which I Find More Than Just a Pretty Cover: Rebel Mechanics” is a little bit steam- punk, a little bit alternate history, a little bit romance, and a lot of fun. The blend of these literary genres is perfect. Oh, and the cover is strikingly appealing. In “Which I Explore History: The British Empire won the Revolutionary War,” not by skill alone but with the help of magic. The ruling class is made up of magisters, and without magical ability, one cannot hope to advance in society. Therefore an underground society of mechan- ics, scientists and engineers seeks to undermine the magical through non-magical means. The invention of steam pow- ered engines and electric devices are their hope for the future. In “Which I Describe The Players: Verity Newton,” a naïve country girl of 17, leaves home to find employment as a gov- erness in New York City. She encounters bandits, mechanics, and a journalist on the way to her job interview. She is spunky and Advanced reader copies for library patrons The library has received a number of advance reader copies (ARCs) and uncorrected proofs of soon-to-be published books.

Dia de los Muertos program Join local resident Mary McCarthy on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 1 p.m., for a discussion of Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, and the creation of a Day of the Dead altar in the Bromley Room. McCarthy will return on Sunday, Nov.1 at 1 p.m. to con- clude the Day of the Dead pro- gram. Dia de los Muertos, while honored through Latin America, is mostly closely associated with Mexico, in which the dead are honored with festivals and lively celebrations. The most familiar symbol of Dia de los Muertos may be the calacas and calaveras (skeletons and skulls), which appear every- where during the holiday: in can- died sweets, as parade masks, as dolls. Attendees are encouraged to bring offerings for the altar, which can be retrieved the next day. Come Zumba and help CROW ‘raise the roof’ Call for details. Expires 11/1/2015.

H2174_AD212N Accepted 9/28/2013 Recently a few trips to the Portland VA Hospital for local Disabled American Veterans (DAV) were can- celed due to the lack of van drivers. DAV is in desperate need of volunteer drivers who are willing to drive vets in the DAV van on day trips to Portland. Vets need to make the trip for medical appoint- ments. The drive is a total of about 330 miles and 12 hours. Anyone interested in con- tributing time as a DAV van driver should call Jim Swant at 541-997-3695 or Tom Zahara at 541-997-1123.
