Library News Update

ANNUAL FOLL MEETING

The Annual Friends of Lewiston Library

(FOLL) ALL MEMBERSHIP MEET-

ING will be held on Monday, June

1st at 7pm in the Lewiston Public Li-

brary Community Room.

On the agenda will be the election of

FOLL Steering Group board members

and chairperson positions.

To ensure FOLL can continue to

support the Lewiston Public Li-

brary, the position of Treasurer

MUST be filled. FOLL is a non-profit

organization and must have a full board

to remain in existence. IF WE DO

NOT FILL THE TREASURER POSI-TION, FOLL WILL HAVE TO DIS-

BAND! This year FOLL also needs to

fill the Book Sale/Friends Room Chair-

person position.

FOLL Needs YOU!!

If you would like more information

about the above positions or are inter-

ested in assuming a position, please

contact CaraLynn Pender at 786-2335

or 248-909-1754.

This meeting will also provide infor-

mation about the projects that have

been completed during the past year

and a library update. You will also have

the opportunity to provide input on

future plans for YOUR library.

PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND!

A PLEA

This is a plea for HELP.

Many of you have been a Friend since

our inception in 2004, helping us raise

$250,000 for renovations to the build-

ing and continuing to support us mon-

etarily through our Book Sales and Ga-

las for which we are deeply grateful.

Now I’m asking several of you to step

forward and join the FOLL Steering

Group. Those currently serving have

either been on board since 2004 or

shortly thereafter and we feel it is time

for “new blood.” Our most pressing

positions are that of Treasurer and

Friend’s Room Chairperson, neither require a lot of time.

The Annual Meeting is scheduled for

June so I‘m hoping that several of you

will step forward before then to say

you are willing to serve. If you need

more information about either posi-

tion please feel free to call me at 989-

786-2335 or 248-909-1754.

Thank you in advance for considering

coming on board.

over 2,500 books have been

given to children to help en-

courage their love of reading.

To join in the fun after the pa-

rade bring your child (toddler

CHILDREN’S BOOK GIVE AWAY

BOOK REVIEW

The Boys in the Boat By Daniel James

Brown Nonfiction/History

Joe Rantz ended up in one of the finest

eight-man crews ever to make it to the

Olympics largely because he needed a jani-

tor’s job to pay for college. After a poverty-stricken,

affection-deprived boyhood, he was trying desperately

to earn enough money to get through the University

of Washington. Earning a spot on the rowing team

guaranteed a part-time campus job. So in 1933, he tried out for crew, and in 1936, he and his boatmates

won gold in Berlin.

Author Daniel James Brown had the good luck to en-

counter Rantz at the end of his long life. Brown’s in-

terviews with Rantz and, after his death, with his

daughter, form the heart of The Boys in the Boat,

an inspirational yarn that joins books like Timothy

Egan’s The Worst Hard Time as a reminder of how bad

it can get and how tough ordinary Americans can be.

The Girl on the Train By Paula Hawkins

Fiction/Thriller

Rachel Watson takes a commuter train

from her slightly grubby suburb into Lon-

don every day. It used to be to get to

work. After she gets fired for drinking on

the job, Rachel still takes the train so her roommate

won’t know just how far she has fallen.

Often on those train rides, Rachel catches a glimpse

of a couple sitting on their back terrace, a “perfect,

golden couple” whom she names Jason and Jess. She is

sure they are blissfully happy, just as she used to be

when married to Tom, before he cheated on her.

Rachel only learns that her Jason and Jess are actually

Scott and Megan Hipwell when Megan goes missing.

When Rachel realizes she was in their neighborhood

the night Megan disappeared, she frantically tries to

retrace her drunken steps and finds herself drawn in-

to Scott’s life and, in the strangest of ways, her own

past.

The Girl on the Train is the kind of slippery, thrill-

ing read that only comes around every few years (see

Gone Girl). This is Hawkins’ first crime novel.
