At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
In ‘Lawrence in Arabia,’ Scott Anderson chronicles how a small group of men coordinated a top-secret effort to gain control of the Middle East during the Arab Revolt of the First World War.
Danielle Page’s ‘The Wicked Will Rise’ is her latest entry into her ‘Dorothy Must Die’ series—which is the story of a modern girl’s adventures in a grim version of OZ.
Storytime is on hiatus until September, which means the Summer Reading Club is right around the corner.

We have partnered with the Cranbrook Garden Club to create a new collection of seeds, available at no charge. Now you can check out a packet of seeds, plant them, harvest the next generation of seeds, and return them so other people can check them out. Don’t forget the library also has countless gardening books, magazines and even DVDs.
Our website is up and running at: www.cranbrookpubliclibrary.ca
On display this month is a selection of antiques and local authors to help celebrate Same Steele Days.
