Library News My name is Carol Jones, and

though I can't promise to do as good a job as Mrs. Robbins in presenting the library news for the week, I will do my best. After the unfortunate loss during the past week of both her mother, Mrs. Ella Gentry and her uncle, Mr.F.E. Gentry, Mrs. Robbins is well overdue for a brief respite from at least one of the numerous duties she performs on a weekly basis. I feel sure, she wouldn't mind my offering thanks on her behalf to all of you who have kept her in your thoughts and prayers for the past few weeks.

On a happier note, I can relate that those of us who work at the library have emerged from the dreaded "inventory weeks" in August with a grcaterapprcciation forall the library predecessors who started the whole library concept many, many, many years ago.

Did you know that the earliest libraries began around 3000 B.C.? It doesn't matter that they began in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, or that they were run by men at the lime. The important thing is that they became established through-out the world over the many centu-ries until we loo benefited from the scholarly minds who made it pos-sible for us to start our own libraries here in America. The very first public library opened inPctersborough.New

Hampshire in 1834. Thanks to a class on library his-

tory which Pearlie, Pam and I are attending through the Southeast Community College, we are learning a lot about the early libraries. It's very interesting information and we hope it will result in helping us to serve our library patrons more effi-ciently in the future.

I would like to urge all of you to drop by and visit our book sale booth during the Bittersweet Festival on October 2nd and 3rd. Mrs. Robbins has been sorting and setting aside lots of books to put in our booth, so there should be a widely varied selection to choose from.

Details for the children's partici-pation in the Storybook Parade dur-ing the festival arc still a bit sketchy, so if there are parents who want their children to participate,,they should contact Linda Mullirjs, the new Children's Librarian, as soon as pos-sible. I'm sure she can arrange a program that will suit all those who arc interested.

Now that our Kentucky exhibit has received such good attention at

the library, I hope all of you will continue visiting the Kentucky Room after we have moved on to another exhibit. Many patrons have been checking out Kentucky fiction or Kentucky related books. The library

I t I S W r i t t e n ' ' Today wc want to study about a very important concept, the ll-sceing eye of God. There are several passages that affirm this idea.

In Hebs.4:13. "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom wc have to do." The one with whom we have to do is of course God. and every thing is naked and open to his eyes! Notice over in Psalm 139:7-12, "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. I f l take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thv hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. I f l say. Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee." There is no way we can hide anything from God. It is utterly foolish for us to think that wc can. When we live with this knowledge, we should be absolutely honest with ourselves and with God Remember all things will be exposed at the judgment, Rm.2:16, Eccl. 12:14.

Includcd among these offerings arc: YANKEE DOODLE DEAD by Carolyn Hart...The fplks on the Broward's Rock library board want to dcclare their independence from new member, retired Brigadier Gen-eral Charlton "Bud" Hatch. A man accustomed to being iji charge. Hatch has commandccrcd the Fourth of July Festival, a benefit for the library, and has maneuvered itaway from its origi-nal theme, a history of South Caro-lina women, transforming it into his own testosterone-laden vision, "Points of Patriotism." Hatch's take-over attitude has alienated every woman in town, including good-na-tured Annie. But she finds it difficult to ignore him during the crowded patriotic festival - especially when he's shot dead before her eyes.

With a list of likely suspects that could fill Town Hall, Annie and Max are stunned when the police arrest an innoccnt young man who recently quarreled with the malevolent martinet. In the spirit of '76, the de-termined Darlings take up the suspect'scause and forge a campaign to identify the party that dispatched Hatch.

THE MERCY RULE by John Lescroart..Vowing to spend more time with his wife and kids, Dismas Hardy is hesitant to take on the case of Graham Russo, acould-havc-bccn-grcat baseball player turned lawyer indicted for the murder of his father, Sal. Everyone close to the Russos knew Sal was dying, and that he needed morphine injections to case his suffering. Graham freely admits to administering those injections, but insists he wasn't there the night of Sal's overdose and resultant death. Was it suicide, murder or mercy? With personal and professional ten-sion mounting, Hardy finds himself face-to-face with a terrifying truth; if this wasa murder, he mightas well be the next person to die.

With his mastery of courtroom drama, and solid conncction to the human element that makes his fiction so compelling, John Lescroart has created in THE MERCY RULE an

intelligent and richly satisfying "thriller that will keep readers turning the pages far into the night.
