Barbara Murray, one of our Book Club patrons, read the latest book club selection “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark Haddon and gave a quick review. She really liked the book ,told first person in the language of autistic child Christopher, accused of killing the neighbor’s dog. Through his obsession with numbers he solves the crime. “This was a good read, witty, told with humor and compassion.” Our next selection will be “Empire of the Summer Moon” by S.C.Gwynne. The
Book Club meets the second Thursday at 4pm-next month on June 13.

“In The Garden Of Beasts” Love , Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin
by Erik Larson
The New York Times Book Review describes “Larson is a marvelous writer…superb at creating characters with a few short strokes”. Erik Larson is a favorite with the Book Club, a few months ago having read his bestselling book “The Devil in the White City”.
In this month’s choice Larson writes of Hitler’s Berlin. The main character, William Dodd, becomes America’s first ambassador to Germany during the time Hitler, New Germany and the Third Reich come to power. As the story unfolds,the excitement and intrigue of Dodd’s experience turns to horror and violence. Described as a very readable nonfiction perspective of a sinister era.

HI,
Lesley Dixon’s photography can be viewed in the library’s community room during the month of April. Lesley is a professional photographer based in the Southern Adirondacks in Hadley, New York. Her philosophy about nature photography is, “There are so many beautiful things in nature that happen every moment of the day: I try to capture them to share those experiences with others.” Lesley is orginally from Port Jervis NY, but is now fortunate enough to call the Adirondacks her home.
