Spotlight on Magazines & Newspapers:

 

Have you ever gone to a party and realized you don't have much to say? Or perhaps table talk at dinner has fallen flat as soda left open overnight. You've simply already told all of your interesting stories. Fear not. The Wautoma Public Library has just what you need to make conversation sparkle again. This summer refresh your banter with magazines and newspapers. The library carries close to 100 different magazine and newspaper titles filled with bite-sized articles on a range of subjects from crafts, finance, food, style, garden, sports, health, current news, celebrity fluff, animals, music, games, and more. All titles (save the current month's issue which can be read in-house) are available for check-out. Armed with these troves of knowledge and trivia you will never need to talk solely about the weather anymore. Please take a little time to visit the library and browse our selection. Our staff has worked hard to choose titles for children and adults, for men and women. However, we are open to new title suggestions and value community input. Likewise, titles we do not own can be placed on hold from other libraries and delivered to Wautoma for your check-out convenience. Don't miss out on this often overlooked gem of the library. Be informed; be entertained; read-on.

 

Wed. June 12, 19, 26: Camp Parkside Kindness Zone, Exploration Stations at 10:30am. Plus on June 26th the UW-Extention 4-H will also be present to do a special "I Spy" craft. For details, please click here.

Book: Dead and Gone
Author: Dorothy Simpson
Carolyn says,"Dead and Gone is the last Inspector Luke Thanet mystery in a series of thirteen books in our library system. These English who-dunnits are well-written plots with key characters that are believable, likeable, and build on their experiences as the series progresses. I will miss them! Without profanity, vulgarity, or explicit descriptions of sex and violence, Dorothy Simpson has mastered the art of creating domestic yet sophisticated mysteries."

Book: The Merchant of Death (Book 1 of the Pendragon series)
Author: D.J. MacHale
Erin says, "Bobby Pendragon is your average 14-year-old. That is until his Uncle Press tells him that Bobby has a mission: to save all of time and space from the cruel Saint Dane who wants nothing more than to destroy all of humanity everywhere. Then the pair are swallowed up into a portal to another land to help the first that are under attack. I would recommend this for ages 9-12. It is an interesting book with lots of action and funny banter between the characters."
