Library News and Notable New Books
The Library's Latest Acquisition for Patron Services - The building at the corner of Pike & Walnut Streets, formerly called Parsons Rentals and Apartments, is now owned by the Crawfordsville District Public Library. The Crawfordsville Fire Department has been given permission to use the location for training purposes. Meanwhile, sealed bids are being received until November 16th for five areas of labor accomplishing demolition of the building and construction of the new section of parking lot.
Here are new items to borrow at 205 S.Washington Street. From the visionary creator of CSI, Anthony Zuiker, comes the first "digi-novel" named "Dark Origins", taking the best features of books, film, and interactive digital technologies into "a raw, dark, and intense storytelling experience"; every 20 pages, the reader can log in to a three-minute motion picture scene, where the characters spring to life. "Log-in, read, watch, and enjoy!"
New, large-print books are now shelved. The mystery "The Broken Window" by Jeffery Deaver is about "data mining", the industry of the 21st century, and shows three frantic days of twists and turns. Dean Koontz's "Dead and Alive" is Book Three of his Frankenstein series that is a reworking of the renowned classic story and dedicated to the memory of C. S. Lewis who wrote: "I am very doubtful whether history shows us one example of a man who, having stepped outside traditional morality and attained power, has used that power benevolently." Keith Donohue's "The Stolen Child" involves changelings. "Sing Softly to Me" by Dorothy Garlock presents a romantic situation in Cody, Wyoming. "Only You" by Deborah Bedford shows a woman's willingness to fulfill a man's responsibility. John Le Carre's "A Most Wanted Man" depicts the War on Terror converging upon a German civil rights lawyer, a banking scion, and a mysterious newcomer from Russia. "Heart in the Right Place" by Carolyn Jourdan is a memoir about helping others regardless of the cost.
Nine requested books hit the shelves this week, the first three being mysteries. Robert Parker's Spenser novel "The Professional" holds a map of Boston inside the cover, useful because Spenser's case moves from blackmail to murder, as women with common "indiscretions" drop dead all over town. Dan Simmons' "Drood" is a mystery of 771 pages named for the Charles Dickens' character, and involving Dickens himself and Wilkie Collins in strange 1860s London neighborhoods. Clinical psychologist Jonathan Kellerman's "Evidence" is an Alex Delaware murder story and vendetta set in the shadowy part of glittering Los Angeles.
Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" is a deadly race through Washington, D.C., featuring a long-lost world of wisdom held in Masonic secrets. "Alex Cross's Trial" by James Patterson tells of a courageous fight for freedom by one of Alex' ancestors in the era of the Ku Klux Klan during the early part of the 20th century. "Tenth Stone" by Bodie & Brock Thoene is their newest "numbered" historical fiction taking us to Bible lands in 30A.D. Charlaine Harris' "A Touch of Dead" contains five Sookie Stackhouse southern vampire short stories. "Finger Lickin' Fifteen" a Stephanie Plum novel by Janet Evanovich begins when a celebrity chef comes to Trenton to cook; instead, he 1oses his head.
Audrey Niffenegger offers "Her Fearful Symmetry" that begins when twin high school graduates are asked by a London solicitor to live in their deceased English aunt's apartment for one year without their parents entering it, in order to inherit the unusual place enveloped by the Highgate Cemetery community.
