Library Tidings News about the Siuslaw Public Library Book Review The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir By Jennifer Ryan Through letters and journals, The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir by Jennifer Ryan unfolds the strug- gles, affairs, deceptions and tri- umphs of a village choir during World War II. As England becomes enmeshed in the early days of World War II and the men are away fighting, the women of Chilbury village forge an uncommon bond. They defy the Vicar’s stuffy edict to close the choir and instead “carry on singing,” res- urrecting themselves as the Chilbury Ladies Choir. This story tells the home-front struggles of five unforgettable choir members: A timid widow devastated when her only son KRAB KETTLE 280 Hwy. 101 M 541-997-8996 Mon.-Sun., 10-6 We invite you to join us.

Covered bridges of Oregon Jerry Russell from the Covered Bridge Society of Oregon will be at the library on Saturday, July 15, at 1 p.m., dis- cussing the covered bridges of Oregon. Russell is a state expert in covered bridges and Oregon fea- tures the largest collection of them in the West. The heyday of covered bridge building in Oregon occurred between 1905 and 1925 when there were an estimated 600 cov- ered bridges in the state. By 1977, this number had dwindled to 56. The Society, of which Russell is the vice-presi- dent, works to ensure that Oregon’s covered bridges will be preserved for future generations. Members work with legisla- tors, local governments, news organizations and historical soci- eties to provide funding, mainte- nance and protection to save the state's roofed bridges.
