Blaine County Library

We have 2 new non-fiction books ready this week. "Keep Sharp" by Dr. Sanjay Gupta is a guide to building a better brain at any age. "Just as I Am" is the memoir of Cicely Tyson, which was released two days before she passed away. This book is part of our Black History Month display.

We have several thrillers available this week. In "The Survivors" by Jane Harper, a body is discovered on the beach, unearthing dark secrets, hidden guilt, and simmering social tensions. Psychologist Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis search for answers to a brutal, decades-old crime in "Serpentine" by Jonathan Kelerman. "The Unwilling" by John Hart is set in the South at the height of the Vietnam War. It is a story about the bonds of family, the burdens of war, and the fight for survival at all costs. "Best Laid Plans" by Gwen Florio is the first of a new mystery series, featuring Nora Best as she flees her old life, cheating husband and all, and takes to the road with an Airstream trailer.

February is Library Lover's Month! Our book display invites you to Fall in Love with a Good Book. There is a nice selection of romances to choose from. We have "I Love My Library Because" hearts for patrons to fill in.

February is also Black History Month, a time to honor the past, celebrate the present and inspire the future. We have a wide variety of books on display in celebration of Black History Month, many were released within the last year.
