Thank You, Thank You

I just came back from a union meeting filled with doom and gloom and
found a pile of brand new books given to the Library. Oh anonymous
person, I truly thank you. Keeping all of us running through the next
two years will definitely be a group effort and I truly appreciate new
books to offer our community.

So thank you so much for A Darker Place by Jack Higgins, Long Lost by Harlan Coben, The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly, Just Take My Heart by Mary Higgins Clark, Mounting Fears by Stuart Woods and Run for Your Life by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge
