Friends of the Inter-mountain Libraries Inc. will be participating in Giving Tuesday, the global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collabora-tion. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, Giving Tuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy, with the prin-ciple of give where you live. To give you an idea how big this event is, in 2015 there were 700,000 online donors who gave $116.7 million dollars to organizations in 71 coun-tries. This is an online event that begins at 6AM on Tuesday, November 29 and ends at 6PM the same day – a 12-hour marathon of donation. FOIL encourages you to participate by going online from any device to www.northstategives.org, where you can search for FOIL and make an immediate dona-tion with your credit or debit card. Come by the Burney Library from 9 to 5 on Tuesday for refreshments. FOIL volunteers will be there to help supporters access the website and make their donations. Donors who come to the Li-brary have a chance to win a Thank Y ou basket. Please help FOIL and the Burney Library with your support on this special day. Tape the ad on page 3 to your refrigerator to remind you to save the date. Your donations on Giving Tuesday will be dedicated to the New Burney Library campaign. Thank You for your support!

Library News

US Bank will host a silent auction of new and collectible books at the bank from December 1 through December 20. The way it works: you examine the books to see if one or more would be a perfect gift for someone, or perhaps for yourself. There is a “bid sheet” for each item that shows its minimum bid. Write your name, phone number and the amount you would like to bid on the item’s bid sheet. Check back often to see if you are the current high bidder: you may have to increase the amount if oth-ers are bidding against you. If you are the highest bidder on the item you will purchase that item for the amount of your bid. Items change weekly. FOIL volunteers will notify you to pay for

and pick up your item if you are the high bidder. It’s all good fun and a great cause: you get a won-derful book and FOIL gets the money for the Bur-

ney Library.

Bid Early—Bid High—Bid Often!

Early fall blockbusters on the shelves include John Grisham’s The Whistler, with the usual intrepid law-yer examining judicial cor-ruption on an enormous scale. A woman Pope? James Patterson’s Woman of God tells that intriguing sto-ry. Patterson’s Private series continues with the total eras-ure of an international figure in Miss-ing. Alex Cross returns for the 24th time in Cross the Line. Special Agent John Puller, combat veteran and super-investigator returns in David Baldacci’s No Man’s Land. Dirk Pitt’s 24th adventure is Clive Cussler’s Odessa Sea. Stephanie Plum’s latest case unfolds in Tur-bo Twenty Three by Janet Evanovich. Jack Reach-er’s latest assignment is Night School by Lee Child. After a devastating

confrontation Special Agent Pendergast is missing, presumed dead. The story contin-ues in The Obsidian Chamber by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

Patricia Cornwell’s 24th Kay Scarpetta book is Chaos. Even The Vampire

Lestat returns in Prince Lestat and the Realms of

Atlantis by Anne Rice.

A woman bares her soul in her blog posts, thinking no one is listening. Someone is reading and is im-mensely touched by her story. What might have been a creepy tale in a thriller-writer’s hands becomes a story of love and redemp-

tion in The Mistletoe Secret by Richard Paul Evans. Russel Green

believes he has it all: beautiful wife, great job, lovely home,

sweet 6-year old daughter: and then everything he took for granted is turned upside down. He finds himself

with no job, no wife, taking care of his child alone. His journey is in Two By Two, the new novel from Nicholas Sparks.

“Today will be different. To-day I’ll do all the things I’ve always said I’d do. Today I’ll be a better per-son.” Everyone has said those words, and made sincere plans. And then the universe laughs. Readers can all identify with the characters in Today Will Be Different by Maria Semple.

Reed Stewart left his crazy family and broken heart when he left his small town to join the pro golf cir-cuit, but a news story gone viral on the Internet brings him back to all that in The Boy Is Back by Meg Cabot.

It’s 1994 and 8 scientists have been selected to live in E2, a sealed, three-acre prototype of an earth colo-ny comprised of five biomes—rainforest, savanna, desert, ocean, and marsh—and enough wildlife, wa-ter, and vegetation to sustain them. The experiment and participants are under constant scrutiny: will it fail?

When will they come out? What can go wrong? T.C. Boyle’s The Terranauts is the story of a grand experiment in human surviv-al and human nature. Moonglow by Michael Cha-bon blends truth and memory, history and imaginings. The author was in-spired by the deathbed recollections of his grandfather, and has woven

present, including some new stories and his own take on much-heard tales.

The Sounds of Silence. I Am A Rock. Kodachrome. Graceland.

Iconic songs from singer-songwriter Paul Simon. The new biography is Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul

Simon by Peter Ames Carlin.

From the Six Nations Indian Reserve to Toronto, to the Mississip-pi Delta and on to Big Pink. Testimo-

ny by the accomplished and legend-ary storyteller Robbie Robertson is

the story of his adventures with The Band, with Dylan, and with most of the icons of the last half century of

music.

Moving from music to Holly-wood there’s Tippi: A Memoir by Tippi Hedren. The star of Alfred

Hitchcock’s The Birds and Marnie sets the record straight about her life and career, including details about

“Mr. Hitchcock.”

In his own words, Anthony Bourdain has "morphed into a psy-chotic, anally retentive, bad-

tempered Ina Garten.” He’s at his profanely entertaining best in this new cookbook/rant Appetites, shar-

ing the recipes he believes everyone should be able to cook. He is very clear on what belongs and what does

NOT belong in each recipe, and why, and heaven help you if you disagree.

Visiting Paris, Craig Carl-son knew he’d found the home of

his dreams. However, he missed good ol’ American breakfasts. Pan-cakes in Paris: Living the American

Dream in France is the story of his Paris diner, Breakfast in America,

them into a tale of ambition and heartbreak spanning the most im-portant events of the 20th century. Andrew Yancy--formerly De-

tective Yancy, busted down to the Key West roach patrol after accosting his then-lover's husband with a Dust

Buster, believes he can get his badge back if he solves a high profile case. Said case case involves Trebeaux, the owner of Sedimental Jour-

neys--a company that steals sand from one beach to restore erosion on another. Dominick "Big Noogie" Aeola, a NYC mafia capo with a taste for tropic-

wear. Buck Nance, a Wisconsin accordionist who has rebranded himself as the star of a redneck reali-ty show called Bayou Brethren. A street psycho

known as Blister. Brock Richardson, a Miami prod-uct-liability lawyer. And Merry Mansfield, the title character of Razor Girl by Carl Hiaasen, king of the

wildly funny what-the-heck-just-happened novel. Just go with it.

New nonfiction includes quite a few biographies. First: Born To Run by Bruce Spring-steen. ‘nuff said.

There are two from icons of the 1960’s: I Am Brian Wilson by Brian Wilson and Good Vibrations My Life As a Beach Boy by Mike Love. Everyone has heard Wil-son’s story: called a musical genius,

there was the huge success of the Beach Boys, then his drug use and crippling mental problems, and now touring, renewed relevance and success. He tells his story his own way, en-hancing his legacy. Mike Love co-wrote some of the most classic and well-loved American pop songs with Brian

Wilson. As front man of the Beach Boys for 55 years (and counting) he writes about every-

thing from the early days to the

from its impossible beginnings to the sourcing of its “exotic” ingredients to its unlikely success.

Victoria: The Queen: An Inti-mate Biography of the Woman Who

Ruled an Empire by Julia Baird co-vers old ground in a fresh, entertain-

ing manner, making the life and times of England’s now second-longest reigning monarch (after Eliz-

abeth II) interesting and accessible. The author provides new insights into

the people surrounding the Queen and is sympathetic

to the her while not discounting her darker side.

Going back to music there’s Anatomy of a Song: The Oral Histo-ry of 45 Iconic Hits That Changed

Rock, R&B and Pop by Marc Mey-ers. We all know the songs, but

what’s the story behind the song? What was the songwriter thinking about when it was written? What’s it really about? The answers to these

questions by the writers and artists will enhance your enjoyment of classics like Shout, Runaround Sue,

Please Mr. Postman, You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feel-ing, My Girl, Groovin’, Proud Mary, Losing My Re-ligion and more.

In ADHD Nation: Children,

Doctors, Big Pharma, and the Mak-ing of an American Epidemic author

Alan Schwarz addresses the fact than 1 in 7 American children are diag-nosed with ADHD—three times what

experts have said is appropriate. Mil-lions of children are then prescribed drugs like Adderall and Concerta for

a condition they may not have. Addressing the roots and rise of the ADHD epidemic while not discount-ing the seriousness of the disease, Schwartz sounds

the alarm for understanding this national health cri-sis.

The Pacific Crest Trail: Exploring America's Wilder-

ness Trail by Mark Larabee and Barney Scout Mann is a

gorgeous new book and is the only illustrated book officially

published with the Pacific Crest Trail Association. Detailing and celebrating the history, beauty and rel-evance of the 2650+-mile trail, it contains over 250

contemporary photographs, unpublished historical photos and documents from the PCTA.

Among many new children’s picture books are Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn by Kenard Pak. A young girl takes a walk through forest and town, saying farewell to summer things and

welcoming fall in softly watercolored pages. The color yellow can be a little underwhelming when other leaves are blazing red and or-ange, but Y ellow Time by Lau-ren Stringer illustrates just how special it can be.

Bella loves the crin-kle-crackle of fallen leaves, the crunch of crisp, red ap-ples, the honking and flap-ping of migrating geese, and she loves the coat that Grams

made her. But the coat is now too small and worn out, so Bella finds a perfect use for it in Bella’s Fall Coat by Lynne Plourde. Wonderfall by Michael Hall follow a tree through the sea-sons: new leaves, dropping acorns, providing food and a home for a pair of squirrels.

Squirrels Leap,

Squirrels Sleep by April Pulley Sayre and Steve Jen-kins examines the daily

lives of all kinds of squir-rels.
