“Timeless Reads” Program at Newark Library

Newark Library has awarded two awards already to participants in the “Timeless Reads” Adult Summer Game.   Congratulations to Sandra, who is a fan of Agatha Christie mysteries, and to Laura, who is a fan of Daphne Du Maurier.  They both won gift certificates to be used at Starbucks. 

Suggested books are displayed next to the Circulation Desk, though any book you think is worth a second read can qualify for the adult summer reading game.  The game is open to any patrons aged 18 or older. 

Come on down to the Newark Library at 6300 Civic Terrace Avenue, Newark, CA.  We’ll be glad to assist you in locating some good books for the summer, and with any other information needs you might have.

Dublin winners recommend

Here’s what the winners are reading:

Sara – Skeletons by Kate Wilhelm

                “Great book – stand alone – not part of

                 Wilhelm’s Barbara Holloway series”

Elena – High Priestess by David Skibbins

“Excellent local intrigue! It kept me guessing almost till the last page. Excellent additional historical references. That was nice of author to include.”

Julie – Spare Change by Robert Parker

Barbara  - Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich

“This is one of the best books in the series… Stephanie Plum is at her bumbling bounty hunter best. Ranger is hot and Joe Morelli is smoldering.  A fun read!

Stop by your local branch and borrow one of these “winning” books.
