Welcome to our blog!!!

Welcome to the new Switzerland County Public Library blog! Our hope is that you will be able to use the information in this blog to help choose interesting things to read. We will be highlighting new books at the library, authors of interest and various genres, including mysteries, romance, Christian fiction, and suspense.

One of our new books is Timothy Schaffert’s The Coffins of Little Hope. The novel is told from the viewpoint of Essie, an octogenarian obituary writer for a family-owned newspaper in a small Nebraska town. As the inside cover says, “When a young country girl is reported missing, perhaps whisked away by an itinerant aerial photographer, Essie stumbles onto the story of her life.” Essie uses her humorous, yet straightforward, wisdom to try to solve the mystery of the alleged disappearance and to understand her own personal circumstances. The Coffins of Little Hope would most likely appeal to fans of Anne Tyler, Catherine Dunne and Lorna Landvik.

Let us know what you think or if there are any books you'd like to see highlighted.

Enjoy!
