A great place to
read the paper, chat with friends, find a book
to read or do homework, research that place mentioned in your
Bible Study, take a quiet
moment for yourself....
If you would like to visit the library at any other time besides normal operating hours and the door is locked, please have someone in the office open it for you.
To check out a book
or item,
write your name on the card in the back of the book or item and leave the card on the desk. The item is due back in 2 weeks.
We will count from the day we pick up the card.
If you choose a
paperback off the shelf
in the middle of the room that
doesn't have a card in it,
that's because those are
swap books.
You can take it, keep it,
bring it back or bring a
different one to replace it
if you want. "Freebies," in
other words. Sometimes we
send them to missionaries or
exchange them for other
titles at Hall Book Exchange.
If you are interested in joining the Guild, please call Julie Hartley
at 770-983-9652. We will train you! We meet about every other month and you are only required to put in two hours of work per month other than meeting times and work shifts.

How You can Help
There are many ways you
can help Webster Library keep new books and
audio/visual items on the shelves
1. Memorial and honorariums in monetary gifts
designated to Webster Library
2. Book Donations: Books you no longer want or
need can be brought by the library. We will sort
into several categories:
a. Books to keep for our shelves
b. Books best exchanged for credit at Hall Book exchange (mainly
Christian Fiction)
c. Books best offered to Eagle Ranch for their library. (Easy and
Juvenile fiction and nonfiction)
d. Books we want to keep for a book sale later on. (yes we will
have a sale this year!)
3. Credit from Hall Book Exchange: If you take
books to Hall Book Exchange and get credit but
you use part or none of it, you can give the
credit receipt to Julie Hartley to use to
purchase books for the library.
4. Amazon Wish List: For those of you who want
to give something tangible as a memorial or
honor or even to “pay off” late fees!
5. Pay late fees. 5¢ per items per day, honor
system. Let your conscience be your guide. We
were spending too much time calculating late
fees so we stopped, but most people still pay
what they feel they owe.
6. Recommendations: Let us know about new books
or items you would like to see in Webster: Books
that you’ve read, books you want to read, books
you would like as reference for Sunday School or
Bible Studies, or perhaps books you are required
to read for school. Good family movie titles are
also appreciated!

Wow, I can't believe
it is already November! Since last time,
I've read Water for Elephants, Where
the River Ends, Snow Flower and the
Secret Fan, Hot Money, The Winding
Ways Quilt, An Irish Country Doctor
and the Guernsey Sweet Potato Peel Pie
Literary Society which are all good reads.
Snow Flower was the only one I got bogged down
in and couldn't finish but many of you will like
it I'm sure. I'm currently reading The
Poet of Loch Ness which was written by a guy
living in Dahlonega! So far, it is pretty
good...a little slow but the story is good.
He has what you may have heard me refer to in
new authors as "potential"! Guernsey Sweet
Potato was really interesting. It was
about a group of people on the channel islands
after WWII but refers to al they went thru
during the war. It is written in "letters"
to other people but the story comes together
very nicely. I would elaborate more
on these books but I'm trying to finish up edits
on the church web site so I'll write more later.
Oh, by the way, I see where the quilting books
have a new edition The Quilters' Kitchen.
The reviews are not good...Apparently it
is basically a recipe book with only a few pages
of actual story. So unless some of you
come to me and beg me to get it....I probably
won't spend the money on it. Check it out
at Hall County. However, The Lost
Quilter comes out March 31 so watch for
that. I have it on my wish list to order
later.

I just finished
People of the Book by Geraldine Sparks.
The story centers around a woman who does
intensive book repair and forensic analysis.
She has been asked to look at a rare Jewish
prayer book that miraculously survived hundreds
of years, even when Jewish writings were being
destroyed en masse. She finds several
clues in the book and alternating chapters back
track through time to tell how those tiny pieces
of life got into the book even though the lead
character never knows the answers.
It is worth
reading, however, it gets pretty intense in one
scene with the torture of a man believed to be
practicing Judaism when he said he had converted
to Christianity. But other than that I
thought the history was phenomenal. I
never realized how much the Jews were persecuted
in times other than Hitler's time.

Upon the
recommendation of my sister, Lane, in
Augusta, I 've read about 4 books by
Patricia
Sprinkle. All of her books except the
latest one are paperbacks so I had not
planned on putting them in Webster Library.
However, when I looked on Amazon, I realized
these books are quite popular and hard to
find in New condition for a decent price.
The two books
I have finished are Who invited the Dead
Man? and A Mystery Bred in Buckhead. Both
far exceeded my expectations. They were
both light reading but good stories. I had
trouble putting them down, reading far into
the night to gain more clues. Each of the
above books are from different series. I am
checking local used bookstores for more of
Sprinkle's books and iI've ordered several
more.
These
books remind me of the small town feeling
you get from The Mitford Series but there's
more of a mystery involved. Many of
them are about the Atlanta area too which
makes them even more appealing! They aren't
labeled as Christian books but they could
easily be in that category.

We are currently entering our
entire inventory on a Website
database called LibraryThing.
So far we only have Adult
Fiction completed but we will do
DVDs, CDs and Audiobooks, then
Juv Fic, and Children's.
Then we begin the ominous task
of getting all the nonfiction
listed so you can look up a
particular book to see if we
have it. Until then, we
will try to keep current PDF
lists linked here so you can see
part of our inventory while we
enter the rest. Thanks!

Several items are still overdue. Please
return your items so that others may
enjoy them as well.
