Congratulations to our very own Zac! Honor Roll for four-countem-4 years! So, not only is he a joy to work with, and one of the Library's best assets, he's proven to be one more example of the great smarts, character, and talent this community has to offer. We're proud to name him as one of "ours".

All Iowa Reads selection this year is Strength In What Remains, by Tracy Kidder. This is not a pretty, all-hail-well-met book. It's powerful, covers and describes disturbing material. A book to read because it takes us from despair and pain to healing. A young refugee from Burundi lands penniless, lost and alone in New York City. Eventually becomes a doctor, and returns to Rwanda/Burundi to practice his healing amidst war and suffering we could only imagine . We should be getting copies soon for checkout, watch here and in the Liinks for more information. Deb is really looking forward to a lively, thought-provoking Book Party for it, hearing from anyone who likes it, who doesn't like it, who has anything to say-good or bad- about it, how you are affected by it.
