The Library has a Busy Month Planned for May
Bookends April 2023
May is a busy month at the West Custer County Library, as it is everywhere. Amidst all the weddings, christenings, graduations and other hoopla, you may find a quiet moment to enjoy a good story. Here are some new acquisitions at the Library: Perennially popular author C. J. Box’s newest has arrived: Storm Watch. “When a prominent University of Wyoming professor goes missing, authorities are stumped. That is, until Joe Pickett makes two surprising discoveries while hunting down a wounded elk as an epic spring storm descends.”
Or perhaps you’d like The Dog of the North by Elizabeth McKenzie, of which one reviewer writes “I’m in love with a grieving misfit driving around with a donkey-shaped piñata in an old van held together by duct tape. [T]he great miracle of McKenzie’s writing…is how she manages to transform misery into gentle humor.”
Not a fiction fan? How about Fly Fishing Southern Colorado: An Angler’s Guide, newly edited and updated? Maps are included to some great near-ish places to fish. Or if movies are more your thing, check out A Man Called Otto, starring a grumpy Tom Hanks, or Season 2 of All Creatures Great and Small (the TV series).
Don’t have time to sit and read or watch? Check out one of these upcoming programs at the Library:
