Preschool story times
and after school reading
programs will not take
place during the months
of June, July and Au-
gust. Staff will be busy
with Summer Reading
programming and will
then take a break during
August. This summer’s
theme of Dream Big – READ! will provide the
opportunity for various fun-filled activities includ-
ing a puppet show, tie-dying event, movies, sto-
ries, crafts—all things nocturnal. Youngsters 0-
13 are encouraged to join their friends in the fun
while keeping their brains active by reading dur-
ing the summer. The first of the summer activi-
ties will take place Tuesday, June 26th at 10:00
in the library. Prizes, including passes to the
Oregon Zoo, Bullwinkle’s, Sky High Sports, and
Out of This World Pizza, will be awarded to
youngsters based on the amount of time spent
reading. The out of town fee for students living
outside the city limits will be waived during the
summer allowing any student to check out up to
three books at a time.
In response to a question regarding fines on
overdue materials, an attempt to clarify the mat-
ter follows:
Fines on overdue materials are $.50 a day for
movies, $.10 a day for books (both audio and
print format), and $.05 for magazines. A maxi-
mum total of $2.00 is the limit charged on any
one item. When items are returned late, the
computer registers the amount and computes
the total due. These fines remain on a patron’s
account until they are paid. They do not magical-
ly disappear. Keep this in mind
and be responsible in returning
your materials on time and
paying any outstanding fines.
It has recently been brought
to my attention that Craig
Johnson’s novels featuring
Walt Longmire, sheriff of Ab-
saroka County, Wyoming are
being televised Sundays on
A&E. The series stars Aus-
tralian actor Robert Taylor as

the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable
Longmire and Lou Diamond Phillips as Walt’s
Cheyenne sidekick, Henry Standing Bear. John-
son has written eight of these novels with Cold
Dish being the first and As the Crow Flies (re-
leased in May 2012) being number eight. I hope
the television adaptations faithfully portray John-
son’s novels, which realistically paint the story
told in each one. The reader can feel the wind
blow, hear the snowflakes fall and see the end-
less beauty of Wyoming while becoming inti-
mate with gruff, likeable Longmire, eccentric
Henry Standing Bear and smart-mouthed
deputy Victoria Moretti. I hope the television
adaptations do them justice.

Deaver, Stolen Prey by John Sandford, The Girl
