“You should be kissed, and often. And by someone who knows how.” —Gone With The Wind

Friends of the Library February events

On Febuary 1st the FOL will be having their monthly

meeting in the story time room in the library at 6:30pm.

The friends will be discussing plans for the upcoming year,

and would like to invite all members to join in.

The main focus of this meeting will be February's

Chocolate Lovers event being held at the library on the

tenth of the month.

Pizza Hut funraisers

Big Horn Basin Story Telling booth

Book Club

This month Book Club will be meeting February 15th to discuss Diane Setterfield’s “The Thirteenth Tale.”

Wilvert’s story centers around main character’s Margaret Lea and Vida Winter.

Lea is invited to record the biography of the famous novelist, before Winter ultimately succumbs to her terminal illness. Being an amateur, Lea is surprised by Winters offer and decides to read Winter’s novel “Thirteen Tales of Change and Desperation” and is surprised to find only twelve tales. Lea almost declines, but while meeting with Vida in person— she is promised and persuad-ed into writing the biography.

Vida Winter speaks of her childhood and the estate she grew up on, Angelfield- which was long ago burned and abandoned. She reveals that she was formerly known as Adeline March, and tells the tale of the twins, Adeline and Emmeline. The twins' lives are surrounded by dark mysteries involving strange deaths, obsessive loves, and of course, the ghost.

Winter allows no questions as Lea records and becomes more and more enraptured with the story. During the present time period, Lea also explores the ruins Angelfield estate, befriends the care-taker, Aurelius, and deals with finding out that she also had a twin. Through her own research, Lea discovers that one of the twins, Emmeline, had lived in the house with Miss Winter, and that there had been a third girl at Angelfield.

By the end, both of the women are forced to deal with their troubled pasts and the burden of fami-ly secrets. Only at the conclusion is Lea finally given The Thirteenth Tale.

This month the HSC Library will be commemorating Presidents day with Gene Fowler Jr.’s Western Classic, The Oregon Trail.

The Oregon Trail starts back east, in 1846, with Fred MacMurry’s character being sent by his boss at The New York Herald on a wagon train to try to prove that the

government is secretly sending soldiers in plain clothes hidden among the settlers to make sure Oregon does not fall into the hands of the British. Meanwhile, in

Washington, President Polk (Addison Richards) points to a map which curiously already shows the Oregon Compromise (and the lands gained after the Mexican

War) and does some double-dealing with the British ambassador (Lumsden Hare).

The rest of the story is a straight “Wagons roll!” plot with the usual paradigms and

clichés; with Cowboys and Indians, holding down the forts, thirst and so on.

On the train are rogue-dreamer John Carradine, with a cargo of apple trees; a ‘settler’ who is obviously an Army captain (William Bishop); a

family which includes a young girl, Prudence (Nina Shipman in her only Western); and the usual assortment of settlers. The train boss is Henry

Hull, who we watch meet his untimely and drawn out death, our villian is renegade trapper Gabe Hastings (John Dierkes) who is on the Indians’ side. He captures Fred but before he can torture him to death, a fair Indian maid (played by Gloria Talbot in redface) comes to rescue the captive, before an

old timey shootout can take over the screen.
