May Member Readings Library Corner First Readings Greg Latwinski 3560 Arapahoe Trail Beaverton, MI 48612 Interviewer: Matt Smith Charles & Wendy Conrad 2111 Crestland Ann Arbor, MI 48104 Interviewer: Ray Karbon May is children’s book month. The library was able to purchase 12 books, ranging in topics from how to be kind to 365 things you can do with Legos, and everything in between. We did have a couple of books donated by Web Wood for adults. The first one is Dead Man Running by Steve Hamilton. Alex McKnight, an ex-Detroit cop, lives in Paradise, Michigan. Alex is minding his own business at a bar one cold and snowy night when all of a sudden, a couple of FBI agents come rushing in demanding to talk to him, it’s a matter of life and death. It seems that there is a deranged loner in their custody, and he will only talk to Alex. All the loner will say is “there is a seventh girl out there and she is still alive, for now.” May Second Readings Robert Ellis MISSION STATEMENT Canada Creek Ranch Association, Inc. Stay Hidden by Paul Doiron is a story about Mike Bowditch, a newly promoted Warden Investigator, called to the scene of a woman shot to death, the opening day of deer season, on a small island off the coast of Maine. The deer on the island are prolific and so are ticks and Lyme disease. What looked like an open and shut case is anything but? The purpose of Canada Creek Ranch Association is to preserve our hunting and fishing heritage and to provide a quality outdoor environment for those other recreational activities which are unique to its woods, waters, and wildlife; and to promote among its members an enduring fellowship working to preserve its properties, and friendly spirit for future generations. This mission is to be implemented within principles of ecologically responsible resource stewardship, sound, farsighted financial management, and respect for the dignity of fellow members. Consistent with these objectives are the following implementation goals: If you are taking out DVDs or audiobooks, please double check that all the discs are back in the cases when you return them. It’s very disheartening when you are watching or listening and all of a sudden you can’t continue because the next disc is missing. Please return any discs you may have overlook to the reference shelf by the computer and we will make sure it gets back to the right set. Thanks, and happy reading. GOALS: 1.
