A Bookworm’s View

So many

books …

so little

time.

Old World Murder by Kathleen Ernst

Set in “Old World Wisconsin, “ Ernst’s first foray

into adult fiction is a success. She sets up a few

seemingly unrelated strings and pulls them all

together to a satisfactory conclusion. There is a

hunt for a lost artifact, a lost heir and a murderer.

Ernst is a Wisconsin author all will enjoy. -Anonymous

Another Piece of My Heart by Jane Green Chasing Midnight by Randy Wayne White Fall From Grace by Richard North Patterson Force of Nature by C.J. Box Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult Mudwoman by Joyce Carol Oates Stay Close by Harlan Coben The Thief by Clive Cussler Victims by Jonathan Kellerman

ONLINE ORDERING OF LDS MICROFILMS NOW AVAILABLE

As an affiliate of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT, the Demmer Library offers

family history researchers the opportunity to use microfilm and microfiche from the Family

History Library. In the past, patrons would come to the Demmer Library and order the films with

the assistance of the Demmer staff. Now patrons can order and pay for films using their own

computer and a Mastercard/Visa card or PayPal. Patrons will need to set up an account on the

FamilySearch website before they can order films. Once the researcher knows the numbers of

the films they would like to order, they will go to www.familysearch.org/films and place their

order. Email updates will inform patrons of the status of their orders. If you have any questions

about this new process, contact Nancy at the Demmer Library at 715-546-3391.
