SIUSLAW NEWS | WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 2018 | 5A Library Tidings News a b o u t the Siuslaw Pub l ic L i b rary 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 Book Review “The Maze at Windermere” by Gregory Blake Smith When a drunken party guest challenges him to a late-night tennis match, Sandy Allison finds himself unexpectedly en- tangled in the moneyed world of Newport, RI. A former touring pro a little down on his luck, Sandy has nothing to stake against the vin- tage motorcycle his opponent wagers. But then Alice DuPont — the young heiress to a New- port mansion called Winder- mere — offers up her diamond necklace. With this reckless wager be- gins a dazzling narrative od- yssey that braids together four centuries of aspiration and ad- versity in this renowned seaside society capital. A witty and urbane bachelor of the Gilded Age embarks on a high-risk scheme to marry into a fortune; a young writer soon to make his mark turns him- self to his craft with harrowing social consequences; an aristo- cratic British officer carries on a courtship during the American Revolution that leads to murder; and, in Newport’s earliest days, a tragically orphaned Quaker girl imagines a way forward for herself and the slave girl she has inherited. Gregory Blake Smith weaves these intersecting worlds into a rich, brilliant tapestry. A deftly layered novel of love, ambition, and duplicity, ”The Maze at Windermere” charts a voyage across the ages into the maze of the human heart. Summer Reading Drawing to a Close Another wonderful summer reading program is drawing to a close, with only one and a half weeks left of exciting events for children, teens and adults. But there are still wonderful pro- grams scheduled for that peri- od. Don’t forget that kids of all ages are welcome to come to the program tomorrow at 10:30 a.m., presented by the Museum of Natural and Cultural History from the University of Oregon, in addition to the continuing movie afternoons and evenings. The Grande Finales will be next week, in Mapleton on Wednesday at noon, and in Florence on Thursday, begin- ning at 10 a.m. Teens have programs continu- ing through next Friday, Aug. 3, with a lock-in at the library be- ginning at 6 p.m. that day and finishing up Saturday morning. If you need a schedule of all the remaining activities, stop by the library, 1460 Ninth St. in Florence and 88148 Riverview Ave. in Mapleton. Terra Nova Trio Don’t forget that today, Wednesday, July 25, at 2 p.m., the library is hosting the Terra Nova Trio in a free concert. The trio consists of musicians An- nalisa Morton, Mike Curtis and Sandy Holder. Offering a fresh vision of con- cert programming, the Terra Nova Trio is a new ensemble with players from the Eugene Symphony and the Oregon Bach Festival. With their tra- ditional classical instruments (oboe, bassoon and piano), they bring Bach and modern French composers to life. With their popular instru- ments (sax, guitar, and accor- dion) they generously mix in klezmer, tango, blues and exotic originals. The result is a satisfy- ing new world of possibilities. Don’t miss this wonderful day time concert open to the general public. In addition, the Friends of the Library will be hosting a South American Potluck imme- diately following the concert in the library lobby. Come for the concert and then stay for some delicious food, or just stop in around 3 p.m. and have a bite. Police invite community to National Night Out On Tuesday, Aug. 7, the Florence Police Department is hosting a National Night Out Event at Miller Park from 6 to 9 p.m. National Night Out is a community-police event held throughout the United States and is meant to increase awareness about police pro- grams in communities, such as drug prevention, town watch, neighborhood watch and other anti-crime efforts. The Florence Police De- partment will be providing hot dogs and hamburgers, chips and soft drinks at no cost to the public. There will be a variety of gi- ant inflatable play structures and kids games, with visits by police officers, public works, firefighters and paramedics, along with safety demonstra- tions, exhibits and activities for all residents.

The City of Florence and Florence Police Department are confident that they can make this community event a success and bring neighbors together with the men and women who protect them.
