  THE WAVERLY ADULT BOOK CLUB

On October 14, 2006, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. However, in 2005 Sergeant King began what would become a 200 page journal for his son in case he didn’t make it home from his service in Iraq. Sadly, Jordan was only seven months old when his father was killed. The love of his life and mother of young Jordan, is Pulitzer Prize New York Times editor Dana Canedy. A Journal for Jordan is a mother’s letter about the father her son lost and is filled with all the wisdom he left behind. It is a beautifully accounted love story and yet a tragedy about to mismatched lovers who lost each other all too soon.

Let’s face it! There’s no better way to beat the summer heat then catching the latest hit on the big screen. There are some that say the cinema is dead, but I say that nothing beats the sheer excitement of hearing the audience scream as a creature finds its next victim, or the contagious laughter of the audience watching the hysterical antics of America’s top comedians. There are movies that are meant to be seen on the big screen with all the great digital sound and grand picture quality. For those of you who saw Avatar you know what I am talking about. But, there is one thing that tops all of this cinema joy, and that one thing is free flicks!!! Last summer your Waverly Branch library brought all the fun of your local cinema to your local library. We plan to make this year's free movies at the Waverly Branch program even better. When you  stop by the library please take the time to fill out one of our summer movie surveys. Here at Waverly we want to bring our customers the best films and movie-going experience outside your local movie theater.
