A Bookworm’s View

So many

books …

so little

time.

Historical events combined with adventure and mystery are all

elements artfully described by Jeffrey Archer in his new novel,

“Only Time Will Tell.” Five year old Harry Clifton’s father dies in

an unspeakable shipyard accident for which only one person is

ultimately responsible. This is only the beginning of Harry’s life

of a series of bewildering consequences that will be revealed to

be connected and interwoven throughout his remarkable search

for success, love and the truth surrounding his father’s death.

The suspenseful, surprise ending will literally keep you waiting

for the release of the sequel… “The Sins of the Father” due next

year!

LAWRENCE E. DEMMER 1921-2011

Our condolences go out to the family of Larry Demmer, who died October 9, 2011.

Larry and his mother, Mae, were instrumental in building our Demmer Library in memory of

his father, Edward U. Demmer.

In 1971, the Edward U. Demmer Foundation agreed to build a library in Three Lakes so

that the families of Three Lakes could have access to the resources that would allow for life-

long learning. Over the years, Larry continued his interest in the library by stopping in to chat

when he was at his home in Three Lakes. He was a man of varied interests as detailed in his

obituary which appeared in the October 12, 2011 issue of The Three Lakes News.

We, at the Demmer Library, appreciate all that he and his family and the Edward U.

Demmer Foundation have done and continue to do to support the Demmer Library and life-

long learning in our community. He will be missed.

The Demmer Library has a variety of Books about Social Media

Veteran’s Day

Military Matters

These are just a few of the books about the men and women who have served our country during times of war.

“Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.”

- General George Patton Jr

“It doesn't take a hero to order men into

battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men

who goes into battle.”

- Norman Schwarzkopf

"The willingness with which our young

people are likely to serve in any war, no

matter how justified, shall be directly

proportional to how they perceive the

Veterans of earlier wars were treated and

appreciated by their nation."

- George Washington
