Book some time at the Bandera Library
By Mauri Guillén Fagan, Director
Special to the Prophet
Lots on going at the Bandera Library. We have three great new thrillers coming in next week. The Lucky One by Lori Rader-Day tells the story of Alice, a woman who had been abducted as a small girl, but whose policeman father was able to find her. The experience never left her and she spends her adult life obsessed with helping other families who have had a child abducted. While perusing a website of missing persons, she recognizes the face of her abductor. Alice enlists the help of friends to begin an all out search for the kidnapper before he can act again.
Mark Greaney’s new book, One Minute Out, is the next installation in the Gray Man series. International assassin for hire, Court Gentry, has discovered a human trafficking ring while working in Croatia. Court is determined to shut it down, but the CIA is holding out knowing the ringleader has information that can prevent the next terrorist attack. This puts Court squarely in the middle of a rock and a hard place.
Meg Gardiner’s Dark Corners of the Night comes out next week too. The Midnight Man is a killer unlike any other. He sneaks in like a ghost for the parents but leaves the children alive. FBI analyst Caitlin Hendrix comes to California to hunt the serial killer though she is still shaken from a close call from a bombing six months prior. It doesn’t take long for her to notice certain eerie similarities between herself and her prey. Hendrix’s skills and her resolve are tested while she wonders if she will be able to do what needs to be done.
Beginning in March, the U.S. Census will be taking place. As required by the United States Constitution, every person living in the country must be counted every ten years. This helps our government properly distribute federal, state and local funds and makes sure that we have the correct number of representatives in Congress for our population. As part of this effort, the Bandera Library will host five Census Days throughout the months the Census is being conducted. This year, forms can be submitted electronically. The library will set aside three computer terminals (in the Teen Center) and have a U.S. Census enumerator available to help with the online form or the form you receive in the mail all day.
On Saturday, Feb. 22, the library will have a Garden Work Day from 8:30 a.m. until noon. We will be pruning and weeding. Please bring your own tools and water.
The library has tax forms and the information booklets available to the public. If you need help finding a specific tax form, ask the library staff and we will be happy to help you find what you need. Lastly, the League of Women Voters have dropped off their non-partisan Voter Guide. Please come by and pick up a copy for yourself.
The Bandera Public Library is located at 515 Main Street across from the Courthouse. Our hours are Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Happy tales, y’all.
