malita29

I am trying to clean up our book club record and I still have a copy of Tenderness of Wolves listed on the account.

Did anyone happen to borrow the book without it being checked out on their account?

The book is from Clackamas Town Center Library and the barcode is #46879334.

Please let me know if you have the book.

Thank You

Subject: Urgent: need to Change book club meeting day and/or time

malita29

Starting in July the library will be open more hours (thanks to the library district funding). Along with these new hours, I will also be working more hours. However, I now must change the day and /or time we meet since my new hours conflict with book club.

I can not meet: Mondays or Tuesdays - after 2pm, Saturdays or Sundays - all day

Other than those days/times, we can meet anytime and this included\s before or after library hours.

Please send me ASAP, the days, times, and week (ie. 2nd Tuesday of the month) that you are willing and able to meet.

My hope is that this change will also benefit former members who had time conflicts with our current time.

The new library hours are:

Monday - Thursday 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Friday - Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Sunday after Labor Day: 1:00-6:00 p.m.

Subject: Next up: Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson

malita29

Our next book will be Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson.

We will meet on Aug. 13th (THURSDAY) at 6pm. (our new date)

The story is about finding a U-boat off the coast of New Jersey and the journey the deep sea divers take in order to identify the U-boat.

I found a quote by the author telling more about the book. He states it is more than a story about a submarine. "It's a book about human beings and how they see themselves and how they answer a basic question when that window opens up, as it does maybe once in a person's lifetime, when they get to take a true look at themselves."

There are more copies available at the Wilsonville Library. Please ask at the circulation desk for a copy. I am keeping them in the back for safe keeping while we are switching to a new library system.

-malia

PS. If you haven't voted for our next series of books. Please vote soon! Voting ends on July 19th and I will post the results by the 22nd.

We had an excellent turnout for voting, with 19 voters.

Normally I pick the top 6 choices, however I am extending this to the top 7, so I don't have to choose which book is left out.

Since three of our choices are best sellers and currently have long waiting lists, I am still working on the final order. I hope to figure it out by our next meeting.

With that said, I have picked September's book: Angelica by Arthur Phillips.

We start our new meeting date on August 13th (Thursday)

If you are interested, here are the results of our voting.
