WHERE THE

| SPOTLIGHT
ON THE LIBRARY |
| AUGUST 1,
2003
What would usually be the long, lazy days of summer have become the
gray, rainy days of 2003. Entering the adult summer reading program by
reading a book and filling out an entry form is a wonderful way to spend
a few of those hours when you look outside and realize you’re not
going to be able to mow the lawn again today. The fiction section at the
David A. Howe Public Library has gotten even better with the addition of
many new titles for summer reading. There’s enough variety to satisfy
all different tastes in fiction reading.
Light Ages by Ian MacLeod. Discover a London society based on
magic in this science fiction novel about an alternate Victorian era.
Guilds control powerful mines that recover a magical substance called
aether from deep underground all over England. Aether is a highly
dangerous substance and the times that Robert Borrows grows up in are
filled with the injustices of a society where one group manipulates most
others.

| Innocence by
Karen Novak. How far a parent must go to protect a child is explored in
a psychological sense in this thriller about a 13 year-old girl’s
abduction in a small town with a secret to hide. Private Investigator
Leslie Stone is hired to find her daughter’s friend but is drawn into
the case far more deeply by her childhood memories and concern for her
own child.
O’ Artful Death by Sarah Stewart Taylor. For art historian
Sweeney St. George an invitation to spend the Christmas holidays in
Vermont means more than skiing and singing carols around the fire.
Photographs of the gravestone of a girl who may have been murdered pique
Sweeney’s curiosity and lead her to the 19th century artist’s
colony to discover the meaning behind the unique headstone and the truth
about the girl it was made for.
Conclave by Roberto Pazzi. The decision that puts a new pope
in power in Rome is not easily come by. In an English translation from
the Italian novel by Roberto Pazzi the reader is invited in to the
Vatican to see what the cardinals of the church do when events take a
fabulous turn for the worse during their four months of deliberations. |

Library this summer to fulfill your reading and other information needs!
This article will be my last time writing for The Wellsville Daily
Reporter. I am moving to Colorado to pursue a career as a librarian in the
Mile High City. I’ve enjoyed writing these articles for the paper and
hope that you, the public, will miss reading them. |
