Nancy Fort has found another great book to recommend!  Review #6.

Tell the Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt is an unconventional coming of age story set in the 1980’s. I realize I have recommended young adult, ’80’s fiction recently but in my defense, I was not aware of those details when I selected the book. I found the book while browsing the BCLS catalog for electronic books currently available for download. I read the brief summary that it was the story of a young girl who had a special relationship with her uncle who died and left her to contemplate her grief and relationships with the rest of her family. I won’t give the rest away but it is a wonderful story about love and family.

Wickedly Good!  Staff member, Nancy Fort, has reviewed another book to tempt your reading list!  Review #5.

Wicked by Gregory Maguire is the inspiration for the 2003 musical by the same name that has won several Tony Awards and legions of fans. It takes place in the fantastical land of Oz introduced to readers by L. Frank Baum and to moviegoers by Judy Garland. Maguire’s Wicked explores the complex personalities and relationships of the inhabitants of Oz. Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the green skinned Wicked Witch of the West before she earned that moniker. The musical is wonderful but the book is even better because it is the first in The Wicked Years series so where the musical ends, the reader can continue to delve into the lives of Glinda, the Munchkins and the Lion. Maguire’s Oz is both fantasy and reality; it goes beyond the Technicolor MGM glitz to reveal the dark motives and underlying political currents that could be the basis for countless novels.  If you are looking for an escape during a cold and wintry day, try Wicked.

The Riverton Free  Library Association continues to work hard to improve our library, using your generous donations, wisely.

This past year the Board has made a beautiful and practical change to the two public bathrooms.

One is handicap-accessible while the other is outfitted with a new, baby changing table.  All of the wall decorations were donated to the library, and make a lovely addition to the rooms.
