A Bookworm’s View

So many

books …

so little

time.

“First Grave on the Right” by Darynda Jones

What do you get when you cross a private investigator with a spiritual

medium? Charley Davidson, the heroine who makes you laugh out loud!

This debut novel is quirky but fun. Mystery, suspense and steamy supernatural

romance will have you turning pages faster than you can snap your fingers.

Publisher’s Weekly mentions that it will appeal to fans of Mary Janice Davidson and Janet

Evanovich. I would also invite fans of Meg Cabot, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Charlaine Harris to

read this book and the newly published sequel “Second Grave on the Left.” –Anon VIII

“Prohibition” Film Screening

Wednesday, September 21

6:30 p.m.

TLCAN The Demmer Library invites you to attend a free film screening and discussion of the documentary, Prohibition. The one-

hour film is a three-part, five-and-a-half-hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that tells the

story of the rise, rule, and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed. The

culmination of nearly a century of activism, Prohibition was intended to improve, even to ennoble, the lives of all Americans,

to protect individuals, families, and society at large from the devastating effects of alcohol abuse. The story of Prohibition's

rise and fall is a compelling saga that goes far beyond the oft-told tales of gangsters, rum runners, flappers, and

speakeasies, to reveal a complicated and divided nation in the throes of momentous transformation. The film raises vital

questions that are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago - about means and ends, individual rights and

responsibilities, the proper role of government.

The screening of Prohibition will be held on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. at the Three Lakes Center for

the Arts in the Northwoods, 1760 Superior St. Free admission with concessions available for purchase. For more

information about this program please visit our website www.demmerlibrary.org or call us at 546-3391. This film is brought

to you by Wisconsin Public Television in partnership with the American Library Association. Check your WPT listings for the

date and time the entire mini-series will air on your local public television station.

COMING SOON--ONLINE ORDERING OF LDS MICROFILMS

The process for ordering microfilms and microfiche from the Family History Library (LDS)

in Salt Lake City will be changing soon.

As an affiliate of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT, the Demmer Library

offers family history researchers the opportunity to order and use microfilm and microfiche

from the Family History Library. Coming in September or October, patrons will not have to

come to the Demmer Library to order and pay for their films. They will be able to order and

pay for them from the comfort and convenience of their own home. The patron will set up an

account, locate film numbers from the Family History Library Catalog and order the films from

the website. An email will notify the patron when the item has arrived at the Demmer Library.

Patrons will be able to keep track of their films through their online account on

familysearch.org/films.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Please remember requested items will only be held for ten days

from the date we receive them from the lending library. We try to

call you as soon as we receive your requested item. Please pick-up

your items in a timely manner. If you no longer want us to hold an

item for you, please call us at 715-546-3391 so we can loan it to the

next person who is waiting. Thank you for your cooperation.
