It is January, 1942.
Torrential rainstorms hit Los Angeles, and a body is unearthed in Griffith
Park. The cops rate it a routine, but they’re grievously wrong. It's a summons
to misalliance and all the spoils of a brand-new war.<o:p></o:p><br />

A simple DNA test is all it
takes. Just a quick mouth swab and soon you’ll be matched with your perfect
partner—the one you’re genetically made for.
Now five very different people have received the notification that
they’ve been “Matched.” They’re each about to meet their one true love. But
“happily ever after” isn’t guaranteed for everyone. Because even soul mates
have secrets. <o:p></o:p><br />

on the real story of a reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred

<br />
Amy Blackstone has been
studying the childfree choice since 2008. More people than ever are choosing to forgo parenthood, and openly
discussing a choice that's still seen as taboo. Blackstone strips away the
misconceptions surrounding non-parents and reveals the still radical notion
that support of the childfree can lead to better lives and societies for all.<o:p></o:p>

<br />
By Patrick Radden Keefe<o:p></o:p>
<br />
<br />
An intricate
narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastating
repercussions. In 1972, Jean McConville, a mother of ten, was dragged from
her Belfast home by masked intruders, her children clinging to her legs. They
never saw her again. Patrick Radden Keefe uses the McConville case as a
starting point for the tale of a society wracked by a violent guerrilla war, a
war whose consequences have never been reckoned with.<o:p></o:p>

Last Saturday I had the good fortune to meet with the
dedicated members of the Whitman County Genealogical Society, and it was a
wonderful reminder of how we construct memories in our communities. The
spectrum of knowledge is enormous- from the very specific knowledge of one’s
ancestors, to the community events recorded in local newspapers (and now so
many other places) to the broad, national and international forces that shape
our local communities and personal lives. Our local institutions do their very
best to record, organize, preserve, and celebrate our history in a way that
relates to a specific place, an all-too-rare effort in today’s world of
“listicles” and “hot takes”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have many wonderful organizations on the Palouse invested
in local history, including our public libraries. The Manuscripts, Archives
& Special Collections (MASC) unit of WSU Libraries does amazing work. The
Whitman County Historical Society and Whitman County Genealogical Society have
a variety of wonderful resources in both Pullman (at Gladish Community &
Cultural Center) and Colfax (Perkins House). The Pullman Depot Heritage Center
is already hosting fantastic history programs, just across the river from Neill
Public Library. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, history and experience crosses state lines and
thus Idaho has many resources as well. The Latah County Historical Society
hosts wonderful events and exhibitions at the McConnell Mansion and at the
Moscow Chamber of Commerce. Historical societies in Potlatch and Nez Perce do
great work, too. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And I haven’t even discussed the Roy Chatters Newspaper and
Printing Museum in Palouse, or the Appaloosa Museum in Moscow. There are so
many others that I haven’t mentioned- all kept alive by determined community
members who understand the importance of understanding our shared past. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And of course, which stories are told also matters. After a
local Pullman historian wrote a detailed history of Neill Public Library, he
told me that it was actually quite difficult to find information on the spouses
of early male WSU faculty and administrators- even though they did an
incredible amount of work to build the Pullman community, perhaps even more
than their better-known husbands. So when visiting our local institutions, look
closely, and you might notice who and what has been left out of our historical
narratives. You might even notice that certain groups and events are <i>over</i>-represented
in our historical narratives.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The many community members contributing to these
organizations every day occupy unique and oft-changing roles. Sometimes they
are simply organizing information, while at other times they are actively
constructing a historical narrative that will affect how the community views
itself. It’s always inspiring to see. In many ways, these acts are expressions of
hope and faith that future generations will find this knowledge valuable and
worth paying attention to- though there are no guarantees this will actually be
the case. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I strongly encourage everyone to check out all of these
wonderful places and organizations. They all have websites and many have a
presence on Facebook, too. We learn so much about our communities and
ourselves, and usually have a lot of fun along the way. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
A
searing debut novel that explores community, identity, and the myth of the
American dream through an immigrant family in Alaska Lin
explores the fallout after the loss of a child and the way in which a family is
forced to grieve in a place that doesn’t yet feel like home. Emotionally raw
and subtly suspenseful, <i>The Unpassing </i>is a family saga that
dismisses the American dream for a harsher, but ultimately more profound,
reality.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>These words are everywhere lately and whether spoken or
read elicit a strong emotional response from all of us. Words are some of
the strongest communication tools we use. Words can build or
destroy. They can hurt or heal. Words can become a weapon or an
olive branch. A bullet or a healing salve. As selectors of our own
words, we are responsible and must be held accountable for the words we
choose. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>My profession is built on words. I read a lot of
words and I like to talk even more. But lately I’ve been doing a lot of
listening to what you, our library patron, have to say. Our conversations
have been heart-breaking, honest and vulnerable. As a parent, business
owner, visiting student or faculty, I thank you for sharing with me that Neill
Public Library is your identified safe space within this community. You
feel welcome and respected here. You feel safe to be who you are without
fear of judgment, persecution, or retaliation. You find staff helpful,
friendly and kind, delivering the right balance of care and attention to you
and to everyone. In your words, “The library doesn’t care what I believe
in, who I love, or how much money I make. Here, everyone has the same
rights and everyone receives the same service.” Yet another reason why
having a vibrant responsive public library is essential to its community.
Especially these days.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I am humbled by your words. Humbled and grateful to
be a part of something so positive and important for our community. I am
exceedingly proud to be part a staff team who work hard to ensure their actions
reflect the library’s core service values of providing an open environment
without judgement and with access for all. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Open. Without Judgement. Access for
all. Public libraries take this charge very seriously. We
intentionally foster a wide diversity of ideas, information, stories, and
opinions. We believe a well-informed citizenry is a cornerstone of
democracy, so we create opportunities for you to gain knowledge and engage in
peaceful deliberative conversation. We purposefully build collections and
offer programs that reflect the broad interests of our shared community. Our
policies and practices are rooted in defense of your civil liberties and
protect your right to choose to use, or not use, the resources we offer.
The result is a word-filled environment that is dynamic and respectful and
feels safe, inclusive and welcoming. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>This same environment is not limited to libraries.
Imagine how much better our world could be if we each chose love over hate,
knowledge over assumption, compassion over judgment. It starts with the
words we choose. <o:p></o:p></i></div>

exploits in America. John Muir was an
inventor, a global explorer, and the first modern environmentalist – he told

<div class="MsoNormal">
In just another week, the parade will have passed, the
lentil delicacies will have been consumed and our Palouse harvest will be in
full force. So we know what that means - time to turn energies and attention to
the start of school. Whether you have a sweet little one headed off for the
first day of kindergarten or a somewhat older sweet one making her/his way to
the land of crimson and gray, the excitement is palpable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For me, this time of the year always takes me back fifty-seven
years to a sunny, exciting August day when my <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">older brother Kevin walked with me to
my first day of school. I was joining the big leagues – headed to first grade
since our tiny rural school did not offer kindergarten. I wanted to get to my
educational <span style="background: white;">Shangri-La and get there soon. It
took everything I had not run at break-neck-six-year-old-speed as I clutched my
lunch, unsharpened pencils and ever-ready crayons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Look out world, first grade was mine. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those first school day memories are centered on my senses. The
smell of chalk dust and pencil shavings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The sound of a ringing bell and the songs my teacher played on our
classroom piano.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The taste of cold chocolate
milk and crackers for snack. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Time flew by, to junior high, high school, and college.
Then, it all came full circle, in 1977 when I stood in the doorway of a first
grade classroom again – only this time I was the teacher, welcoming little ones
and their parents to our classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The excitement
was palpable. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Time moved forward and I continued to teach another nineteen
years, followed by being a children’s librarian for the past twenty-two
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The excitement is still palpable
and the learning continues – for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Forty-two years have taught me that the best teachers are children. Their
curiosity knows no bounds, their hearts have no judgments and their joy is
contagious. They have much to teach each of us if we will stop long enough to listen.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So if someone you love is headed off to school in the next
few weeks, let’s send them off with big hugs, kind words and the deep feeling
that they matter. They matter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is
no greater gift we can give to our children. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And although we do not have chocolate milk, crackers or a
piano at Neill Public Library, we have thousands of wonderful books waiting to
be shared along with many other resources to support and celebrate the
back-to-school journey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The excitement
is palpable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope to see you and
yours soon. <o:p></o:p></div>

A flock of small birds flits and flutters in the branches of
a tree, trying to achieve balance. It’s
all fun and games until one small bird is left, and one big bird arrives. How will these birds balance? This playful
picture book introduces early math skills and explores the concepts of weight
and balance.<br />

In <i>Beneath the Tamarind Tree</i>, Isha
Sesay tells this story as no one else can. Originally from Sierra Leone, Sesay
led CNN’s Africa reporting for more than a decade, and she was on the front
lines for this story. With unprecedented access to a group of girls who made it
home, she follows the journeys of Priscilla, Saa, and Dorcas, in a tale of

This book offers everything
from step-by-step instructions for how to do your paperwork and navigate the
healthcare system to answers to questions you might be afraid to ask your
doctor. There are also lessons for
survivors, like how to shut down a loved one’s social media accounts, clean out
the house, and write a great eulogy. A

and a driving narrative that takes us through the forests and into the valleys
of a remote and seldom visited region, <i>In the Valleys of the Noble
Beyond</i> sheds light on what our decades-long pursuit of the Sasquatch
tells us about ourselves, and invites us to welcome wonder for the unknown back
into our lives.<o:p></o:p>

Being a wise and just ruler is no easy task. That’s what Prince Veera discovers when he and his best friend, Suku, are given the opportunity to preside over the court of his father, King Bheema. Inspired by traditional Indian folktales, these eight original tales by Soundar task the two clever boys with outwitting the kingdom's greediest, wiliest subjects.

As a part of the 2019 Summer Reading Program, the Friends of Neill Public Library
invite you to enjoy an environmental, educational, and entertaining performance
by KC Puppetree. Kelly Campbell launched KC Puppetree in 2013 with a dream to
produce and create original puppet plays out of re-used objects. Her program
presents dynamic performances that feature lively and friendly puppets made out
of reclaimed objects that delight and inspire audiences to explore a world of
creative re-use. Her combination of live actors with story-telling and audience
participation brings audiences of all ages into the action.<o:p></o:p>
<br /><br />
KC Puppetree is in Pullman to entertain folks on Tuesday, July 23
at 9:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in the library’s Heritage Addition. Make plans to
attend one of these highly entertaining shows for all ages. <o:p></o:p>
