Book some time at the Bandera Library

By Mauri Guillén Fagan
Bandera Library Director

What a week at the Bandera Public Library!
March is Texas History Month and the library has a special program planned. Local historian and Texas History expert, Ray Carter will be giving a presentation today, March 11, from 4 - 5 p.m. Mr. Carter will present his research on the exploration, military and mining trails the Spanish used here in Bandera county. The stagecoaches and the U.S. Army later used these trails. Landowners, those interested in military history or Texas history should come by. The Frontier Times Museum has loaned the library several artifacts for Texas History Month. Stop by to check them out.
The Artist of the Month is William Keith. A graduate of Memphis College of Art and the Savannah College of Art and Design, Mr. Keith currently teaches art at Northwest Vista College in San Antonio. Mr. Keith is a local artist who creates multi-media weavings inspired by his overriding belief in God. Each piece represents how the artist believes God shows his love through color. Next week is the Bandera Fiber Arts Festival and the library invites all to top off their fiber-filled day with a visit to gallery. Mr. Keith will give a gallery talk to discuss his works on Saturday, March 28, at noon.
On Saturday, March 21, the library will host a local author for a book signing. Joanne Kukanza Easley has written Sweet Jane, a novel about a woman who has spent her life running away from an ugly past. When her alcoholic mother passes away, she must return to the home she swore never to see again for the funeral. While confronting her past, she makes a stunning discovery about her family that makes her see her life and her problems through an entirely new lens. Easley will be at the Library from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Two new books coming in that are noteworthy. In Jude Deveraux’s A Forgotten Murder, Sara Medlar and her niece Kate have solved two murders in their Florida hometown. As a treat, Sara books a trip to England to visit a friend of hers. Almost immediately, Kate realizes her aunt is up to something. Medlar knows that decades earlier a couple disappeared and the case went cold. She has strategically gathered her friends to solve the English countryside mystery together.
Bestselling author Theresa Anne Fowler’s newest novel, A Good Neighborhood, is considered one of the most anticipated books of the year. Two families live next door to each other in an idyllic North Carolina neighborhood. They share little else than a property line. One summer, their lives change irrevocably when the families’ teenagers begin a controversial romance.
Happy tales, y’all.
