By Mauri Guillen Fagan

We are pleased to announce the Bandera Library is beginning our phased reopening plan. In this first phase, we will continue our curbside service checkouts of books, magazines, and DVDs and expand to include copy/fax services. The library is also booking appointments for a limited number of patrons to use the public access computers. We are requiring patrons entering the building to use a face mask and to practice social distancing while in the building. Appointments are available from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. and from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. Call to make your appointment.
This week’s new books include Michael Connelly’s newest thriller is the latest in the Jack McEvoy series called Fair Warning. As a veteran journalist who has seen it all, Jack McEvoy finds himself in a very uncomfortable position. A murder victim is a woman with whom he has had an affair and even more troubling is McEvoy himself becomes a suspect. Now the case has not just become a race to find the killer before he strikes again, but also to clear McEvoy’s name.
Nora Roberts is at it again. Her new novel Hideaway is set on a sprawling family ranch in Big Sur, California. Caitlyn Sullivan comes from Hollywood royalty stock all the way back to her Irish immigrant great-grandfather. As a child star, Caitlyn was used to a pampered life. That ended when she is abducted while playing a game of hide-and-seek with her cousins on the ranch. The whip smart child manages to escape her abductors. The traumatic experiences set the stage for the rest of her life until as an adult she musters the courage to face the past.
Stuart Woods has a new book coming out this week too. Bombshell is number four in the Teddy Fay series. Fay is ex-CIA turned movie producer, a master of disguise and known for his own brand of justice. Fay is back in Hollywood and is smack in the middle of two thorny situations. First, a rising star at his production studio becomes the target of gossip that has gone from malicious to violent. Then, Fay himself targeted by a criminal thug bent on revenge. He will have to use every one of his undercover skills to stay a step ahead of his enemies.
