SANGER PUBLIC LIBRARY MONTHLY REPORT DECEMBER 2011 Submitted by Victoria Elieson HIGHLIGHTS: Each month the library displays interesting items in the foyer display case. Last month we showed items from Sanger participants in World War f. This month we displayed part of a collection of nativity sets. We are always looking for someone to share their collection with us for a month. ADMINISTRATION: By volunteering at the Scholastic Warehouse book sale, the library director got over $300 worth of books for $14. Four were for personal use, but the rest will be added to the library's collection or given away for the Summer Reading Club. Meeting attended: Christmas Luncheon, 12n PROGRAMS: Adult programs held: Two Knitting and Crochet workshops. The Storytime theme was "My Favorite Things". At "Favorite Colors" children played with bean bags and made window ornaments with colored tissue paper. At "Favorite Toys" the children enjoyed the participation story The House Where Santa Claus Lives. But even more they enjoyed making Christmas tree ornaments from juice can lids, especially punching a hole in the lid using a hammer and nail! At "My Favorite Holiday" we had some visiting older siblings, and everyone made an angel. As usual there was no Storytime between Christmas and New Year's.

SMILAND Mystery lovers who. prefer non -graphic murders, or who enjoy the atmospheric set- ting of it luxury brownstone in New York City with gour- met meals served by a private chef, or who delight in a de- tective who usually solves the fairly intricate crimes while merely sitting at his desk and thinking --an old favorite has made a new arrival, in the form of an omnibus., and gives cause to rejoice. "The Nero Wolfe Printer", produced by the Mystery Guild, contains "And Be it Villain", "Black Orchids', and "Champagne for One", three early books featuring the luxury -loving private de- tective. Created in 1934 by Rex Stout, detective Nero Wolfe stars in 33 novels and 39 short stories, as well as ra- dio drama series, movies, and television series through the years• including a new Ital- ian series that will debut in 2012. He is noted for his eccentricities ---his refusal to leave his house or disrupt his regular daily routines except under the most extraordinary circumstances, his almost 300 lbs., the 4 hours a day he spends tending to his ex- tensive collection of orchids, his silk sheets and pajamas, his distaste for the frailties of women, the private chef who creates three gourmet meals each day, his genial and often hilarious assistant Archic, and soon. Rex Stout, who died in 1975 at age 88, was from the Midwest. Recognized as a pradigy, he had read the en- tire Bible twice by age 4. He joined the Navy at 16, served for t Yeas, and then invented a banking system for school children that is still in use today. This allowed him to "retire" in his 20's, and write about the brilliant detective that only needed to sil and think to solve crimes that out - witted the local police and FB I. The first novel, "And Be a Villain". from 1948, has Wolfe in typical form, solv- ing the murder of a poisoned man. In 'Black Orchids", which is actually 2 related novellas from 1941 and 1942, Wolfe makes at unusual trip out of his house, to see a flow- er show that is exhibiting the rare black orchids. Murder is soon it part of the picture. The last novel, "Champagne for One" from 1952, has the death of a young unmarried mother at it society dinner petty provoking everyone to insist it was suicide, but was it really? The Nero Wolfe books are it delight to read ---plenty Of mystery to engage your brain and entertaining as well. They probably don't qualify as Great Literature, but they are well -written ---character- izations are clear, plot lines make sense, action is bal- anced with thoughtful con- templation, and the ambience is serious enough, with a side helping of breezy attitude. "The Nero Wolfe Prim- er" is available now at the Sanger Public Library, 501 Bolivar, along with several other Wolfe Books, and a large number of the books are available through our consor- tium. The library also has on DVD the second season of the 2001-2002 A & E series starring Timothy Hutton and Maury Chaykin, the only ad- aptation of Wolfe to follow the written stories closely.

Smiland Out of Place in Time and Space Did you ever wonder how ancient civilizations achieved some of their most dramatic advances? Or how visionar- ies could design and draw a helicopter in the 1500's or modern telecommunications (including cell phones, the ;hiternet, Skype and video- ;cQnferencing) in 1882, when ;a; workable telephone had t*t been invented'? Some 4as and inventions were so 4 ahead of their time that $eme writers have speculated .0i ancient astronauts, UFO :Bits, and such, but "Out of V e in Time and Space", Lamont Wood, is not that :J k. -: Subtitled "Inventions, Be- liefs, and Artistic Anomalies That Were Impossibly Ahead orrheir Time", Wood's book is,a fascinating look at forty of these anomalies or anach- ronisms. Some are ideas, sdch as the round earth, and .jo'me are products such as the concrete of Ancient Rome or a painting or building. My favorite is the obscure French cartoonist, Albert Ro- bida, who in 1882 imagined a complex telecommunications system and network much like we have now. Robida also predicted "invisible" hearing aids, nations declar- ing bankruptcy, recorded per- formances in multiple stmut- taneous languages ---all quite true these days, but incon- ceivable at the time, except by him. Another favorite is the Parthenon; built 24 centu- Cies ago in Athens, Greece. To the average tourist, it just looks like a regular rectangu- tar building, although ancient and imposing. In reality, the appearance of straight lines is created by each marble block being precisely sculpted, with not one straight -sided rect- angle, and with no mortar be- tween blocks ---our eyes and brain see a perfect rectangle. It isn't known how the an- cient Greeks achieved this, or why it was so important that viewers see a perfectly rec- tilinear building. Today it would be very difficult to replicate their efforts ---the Parthenon copy in Nashville, Tennessee used cast concrete, wood, and mortar. Woods is a journalist and freelance writer out of San Antonio, so he is experienced at describing and explaining things clearly and concisely. He does have a dry sense of humor in dealing with some of these oddities, and at times he must speculate on some of the details, but he never falls back on visiting aliens a la von Dani ken. It is a great "browser" book, one that is easy to pick- up, read a few pages (most of the anomalies' explanations are 3 or 4 pages), then come back to later. But it is just so interesting, many readers will want to go on to the next sec- tion and the next. With the variety of subjects he covers, many readers will find some- thing fascinating within. The new "Out of Place in Time and Space" is available now at Sanger Public Library, 501 Bolivar. To reserve it, patrons can call 458-3257 or e-mail the library: library@ sangertexas.org.
