Just like everyone else in this day and time, we are having to operate on a tight budget. And despite the fact that our budget has been cut for the umpteenth time, our director has said we WILL have new books.
Our library belongs to the "Book of the Month Club" and every other month we receive 20 new books. Ten of those books go to the Bookmobile and the other ten to our main library (headquarters). These books come from Jean Karr & Company out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. They are westerns, mysteries and fictions, and they are Avalon books.
For July and August we've received the following NEW books:
Westerns
*****The Treasure of St. Woody by I. J. Parnham
*****The Hidden Truth by Michael Senuta
Mysteries
*****Maelstrom by Ilsa Mayr
*****An Unmarked Grave by Kent Conwell (A Tony Boudreaux Mystery)
Fictions
*****Suddenly Lily by Deborah Nolan (romance)
*****To Hope by Carolyn Brown (romance)
*****For the Love of Murphy by CJ Love (historical romance)
*****Amethyst by Kathryn Quick (romance)
*****A Run for the Money by Gina Ardito (romance)
*****A Daring Return by Kathleen Fuller (historical romance)
And Monique said another new book just came in, but not from the Book of the Month Club...Storm Cycle by Iris Johansen, a mystery/fiction.
So, keep checking us out. And don't forget the BookNews section of our website.
There are plenty of good books yet for your lazy summer reading.

Have You Checked Out "BookNews"?
A while back our library introduced BookNews, a new online service for our readers. This new advisory service gives readers access to free electronic newsletters about a wide variety of books via the library system's Web site or delivered directly to their e-mail address.
Since people seem to be using the library more and more during this time of our economic stress, or should I say distress, it's a great way to find books to your liking without having to cut into your already tight budget.
You can access the service via the BookNews link from the home page of the library (the same one where you click onto the Blog) and select the newsletters you wish to read. You can also elect to receive the monthly newsletters via e-mail on the 15th of each month.
Of course, this month is nearly over, but you can still see what is available.
For instance, in New Fiction, there is Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult and Relentless by Dean Koontz, as well as two other selections.
In Audio Books, you can listen to Pursuit by Karen Robards and Dead Silence by Randy Wayne White, plus two others.
Christian Fiction has A Claim of Her Own by Stephanie Grace Whitson and Deep in the Heart of Trouble by Deeanne Gist, as well as a book by Tamera Alexander and one by Ginny Aiken. I seem to always look for my favorite authors before seeing the title.
The Mystery Books selections are Corsair by Clive Cussler, True Detectives by Jonathan Kellerman, Dead Silence by Randy Wayne White, and a book by Evelyn David.
And we haven't forgotten the children. In the Children's Books, the selections are Too Many Toys by David Shannon and Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell in Love by Lauren Tarshis, plus two other books.
The great part about BookNews is that it gives pictures of the book jackets, reviews, descriptions and author commentaries. You can actually read a little something about the book to help you decide if you want to check it out. And there are links within the newsletters to take you directly to the PINES Library System online catalog, so you can easily see if a title is available here at our library or anywhere in the library system.
If you haven't taken the time to check out BookNews, you're missing a great opportunity and service provided by the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library. I think you'll be impressed by this service. In fact, it's even entertaining to read about each book.
Try it! You'll like it! And watch for the new selections that will come out on July 15th.
