Library News

From the Director As you visit our libraries over the summer, you may notice a number of improvements related to our three-year strategic plan. The plan was approved by the Library Board of Trustees in 2015 and we’re using it as a roadmap to enhance services and spaces for our patrons. Please pardon our dust in the coming months as we make these improvements to better serve you: • New display shelving for bestsellers and new releases at both locations, for easy browsing. • Relocation of the YA Area to the lower level at Cook Park with expanded seating and new study room to give teens a space of their own. • Expanded seating options in the Quiet Study Room at Aspen Drive to accommodate more patrons. • New lounge space adjacent to the courtyard at Cook Park: comfortable seating and beverage vending to give all patrons a place to refresh and relax. • Mysteries relocated to the main floor (from the lower level) at Cook Park for better access to this popular collection. • Electrical outlets with USB chargers added at both locations allowing patrons to easily power mobile devices at the library. • Improved Digital Studio space at Cook Park to better accommodate equipment and patrons. • New ergonomic computer chairs at both locations for greater comfort while working/surfing. • Improved eLibrary access to OverDrive books and audiobooks. Read more about this change in the next article. Many of these improvements are a direct result of your responses to our community survey in 2014. We thank you for your input and look forward to telling you about additional enhancements in upcoming issues of Ins & Outs. Read the entire strategic plan at www.cooklib.org. —David Archer

Farewell, MyMediaMall; Hello, Improved OverDrive

To improve your browsing and borrowing of eBooks and audiobooks, we’re making some changes this June. Cook Memorial Public Library will move from the MyMediaMall consortium to our own OverDrive site. Here’s what you can expect: • View titles whether or not you’re logged in • Shorter waits for many popular titles • Better info about the titles you place on hold • Easily check out titles from our catalog • Suggest titles for the library to add to our OverDrive collection Our goal is to tailor OverDrive to you, the Cook Memorial Public Library patron. Having an OverDrive site of our own means we’ll be putting resources toward building a collection with you in mind. We’ll keep you posted on the timing. Meanwhile, you can keep using MyMediaMall just like you always have. Questions? Please let us know!

We also have selfie sticks, digital cameras, and rugged portable hard drives. Borrow equipment for up to 7 days.

The Second Life of Nick Mason by Steve Hamilton

Everyone Brave Is Forgiven by Chris Cleave

Evening Book Discussion

In 1939, privileged Londoner Mary North leaves her Swiss finishing school to join the war effort in England. She ends up teaching London schoolchildren and falls for school administrator Tom—until she meets his roommate Alistair. As grim wartime sets in, Alistair is sent off to fight in Malta, and the complicated relationship between the three is tested. Kirkus says Cleave’s novel has “irresistibly engaging characters who sharply illuminate issues of class, race, and wartime morality.”

The Children by Ann Leary

Reclusive 29-year-old blogger Charlotte lives in her family’s sprawling Connecticut home with her mother. When her stepbrother Spin brings home a gorgeous fiancée who seems too good to be true, trouble brews beneath the family’s cultured surface. Publishers Weekly says Leary’s “darkly comic send-ups of New England wealth, nouveau riche, and Internet culture should keep readers absorbed until the final, most shocking secrets are revealed.”

Adulting Book Discussion

Nick Mason gets out of prison after serving only five years of a 25-year sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. But his early release comes with a price: he must do the bidding of crime boss Darius Cole. As Cole’s assignments grow increasingly cruel, Nick wants out, but finds himself up against true evil.
