Four new books at the Ardmore Public Library are Catherine Palmer’s Love’s Haven, JRR Tolkien’s The tale of the Children of Hurin, Michael Palmer’s The Fifth Vial, and Stuart Woods’ Fresh Disasters.
Stuart Woods is the author of 34 novels, and he outdoes himself with Fresh Disasters, the newest edition of the Stone Barrington series. With the often-hilarious action, razor-sharp characters, and crackling dialogue that are his hallmark this book is Woods at the pleasurable height of his storytelling powers.
On Tuesday, April 24, 2007, in “The Huntsville Times,” Patsy E. Gray of Huntsville wrote in the editorials “that not only cannot everyone afford a computer or know how to use one but that the very library thought to be obsolete by many has computers that can be used without charge and computer classes in which to use them that are also without change.” So when you think that libraries are becoming obsolete remember that everyone cannot afford or chose not to purchase their own books or computers; therefore, libraries will be available for a long time for those who desires and needs the services that libraries can offer them.
