Action packed novels from the adult department
If you like a good summer thriller, here are a few titles you might want to check out.
Final Theory by Mark Alpert
On the run from the U.S. government and a ruthless assassin, science historian David Swift tires to uncover the meaning of a series of numbers whispered to him by his dying mentor. David hurtles from the Northeast to Appalachia to solve the puzzle that may be tied to Einstein's final theory, but the answer takes him by surprise.
The Deceived by Brett Battles
Freelance "cleaner" Jonathan Quinn is hired to make a body disappear. When he discovers that the victim is a friend, Quinn violates the rule of his profession and becomes personally involved.
Volk's Shadow by Brent Ghelfi
Like a bullet, Col. Alexei Volkovoy goes where he is pointed and doesn't stop until he hits something. Brutalized by training, war, and captivity, he has criminal tendencies and a capacity for explosive violence that hide a deep loyalty to Russia and to the few people he trusts.
Rules of Deception by Christopher Reich
Reich's everyman hero, Jonathan Ransom, is plunged into a world of intrigue when his wife dies in an accident. Growing questions about her true identity dig him deeper into trouble.

New Library Update
Exciting times over at the library. We've been finalizing a few things over here. First, we have an opening date for the new building - September 20, 2008 - which is surprisingly (and perhaps frighteningly) soon! You can check out more about the new library on the Chief Librarian's Blog.
The Teen Advisory Council has selected the furniture for the the new teen area AND - this is so exciting - they've picked a fabulous name for it...

Behold, THE ROOM
I've also been going around to high schools in North Van City to talk about Teen Summer Reading Club and to announce the fabulous new gaming program that we'll have going in the new building. This will include:
1. Regular, after school video game playing in The Room
2. A video game collection that you can borrow (including games for xbox 360, Wii, and PS3)
3. A series of video game tournaments for up to 50 people
Are you excited? I'm excited.
