I’m working on a special project. The library has a small (very small) collection of yearbooks from the Luverne High School, a few from the ’50s and a few from the ’60s and ’70s. I would like to have the entire collection available as a reference tool. If anyone has the Luverne High School yearbooks and would like to donate any or all of them to the library, we would appreciate the opportunity to develop a full collection. The yearbooks would be cataloged as reference and would not circulate outside of the library. We will be working on a collection of Magnolia and Hills school yearbooks, as well. We have a large collection of new books on the shelf this week. Many of you have asked for the latest title on Oprah’s list, "A Million Little Pieces" by Stephen Frey. This book and his newest title, "My Friend Leonard," are both in. If you haven’t called in and requested to be on the reserve list, now would be a good time to do so (449-5040). Also new on the shelf this week is "Toxic Bachelors" by Danielle Steel. They were the best of friends and the most daunting of bachelors ... Charlie Harrington, a handsome philanthropist, has such high expectations for his perfect bride that no mortal need apply ... Adam Weiss, a 40-something celebrity lawyer, prefers his women very young, very voluptuous, and very short-term. And for Gray Hawk, a gifted artist with a knack for attracting troubled relationships, women are fine; it’s just the idea of family he can’t imagine (particularly the family of the woman he’s dating). Now the three friends, spending their annual summer vacation cruising the Mediterranean aboard Charlie’s majestic yacht, are about to have their bachelorhood rocked. Charlie begins dating a crusading social worker who couldn’t be further from his ideal until he makes a stunning discovery about her. Adam gets involved with his usual 20-something bombshell, only this one has a remarkable mind of her own. And Gray, who has avoided both business and family like the plague, has managed to fall head over heels for a successful career woman who just happens to be a mother as well. As another holiday on the yacht approaches, the once-carefree trio is about to discover that love is the most unpredictable adventure of all. "The Camel Club" by David Baldacci. The Camel Club is where the most influential businessmen and politicians wine, dine, and often change the course of history — and where ruthless mercenaries spy unseen, recording every last bit of information to sell to the highest bidder. But when Harry Stone, homeless man and conspiracy theorist, witnesses a gruesome murder, secrets begin to unravel. Stone steals a piece of evidence from the scene that links the Club’s founders to the murder of a high-profile government official, and they’ll do anything to get it back. Secret Service Agent W. Frank Churchill begins investigating Stone as a murder suspect, but soon, with the help of defense attorney Kate Monroe, he unearths a shocking truth: One man is using the Camel Club for his own terrible devices — and to achieve his horrific goals, he must kill Stone ... and anyone else who gets in his way.
