August's Feature Book Display: Those Splendid Seniors

A few days ago, several members of the library's staff were discussing the newest installment in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, Twelve Sharp. Although each of us loved the newest installment for different reasons, we all agreed that one of the best parts of any Stephanie Plum tale is Stephanie's 80-something grandmother, Grandma Mazur. This realization sent us on a search for other stories where septugenarian, octogenarian, and nonagenarian ladies show us that old age does not arrive on a certain birthday, but whenever you allow it to arrive. The women in this month's feature display are firmly holding the title "Little Old Lady" at bay to the amusement and delight of all the characters around them.

For those fellow fans of Grandma Mazur, a reader might want to try these books from our display. The scene stealing Aunties and Grannies from these series add a special something to each page they grace.
Best In Show by Laurien Berensen
A Case of Bad Taste by Lori Copeland

Readers who would rather see their golden girls in a starring role rather than just supporting a younger main character should consider a few of these titles.
Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind by Ann B. Ross
Little Altars Everywhere by Rebecca Wells

We would not be doing Miss Marple and Jessica Fletcher justice if we did not mention the many senior sleuths spending their time solving crimes and catching crooks. Mystery fans should consider trying a few of these.
A Clue for the Puzzle Lady by Parnell Hall
Biggie and the Poisoned Politician by Nancy Bell

All of these titles and more will be found on the kiosk next to the new books all month long. So hurry down and take advantage of our Blue Hair Special before these spry ladies are gone!

News from our Boys : Enlightening stories from Henderson's WWII soldiers

The Genealogy Department has recently indexed and made available to the public a series of World War II scrapbooks compiled by Robert Stuart. The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings from the Henderson Gleaner and Journal from approximately 1942 to 1946. Included in the scrapbooks are such items as: letters from the soldiers to their families in Henderson, news reports from the war about Henderson soldiers, death notices, and missing-in-action notices. While the contents of the scrapbooks are not online, you can browse the list of soldiers mentioned in the scrapbooks, and view the scrapbooks at the library.

Of particular interest to some people may be the letters written home to family members by the soldiers. A local woman found a letter from her father written to her mother telling her how proud he was of his new daughter that he had not yet seen. Her baby picture had been sent overseas and all of the soldiers shared in the joy of the birth of the new child. The woman did not know that the letter existed and was warmed to read about her father's emotions after her birth.

Maybe there's a letter from someone in your family!

FREE Tai Chi classes at the library this fall

Beginning in September, the Library will be offering free tai chi classes to the public. What is tai chi? It is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise. The health benefits of tai chi are numerous and include

• Improved posture
• Flexibility
• Balance
• Lower body strength
• Coordination
• Physical endurance
• Breath control
• Stress management

Because of its gentle health enhancing properties, tai chi can be practiced throughout one's life. Although tai chi is generally safe, consider talking with your doctor before starting a new program. This is particularly true if you have any problems with your joints, spine or heart.

The instructor for the classes is Diana Hopgood, a certified strength and conditioning specialist. (See article in The Gleaner.)

The classes will be held at the library on Wednesdays at 2:00 pm and Saturdays at 10:00 am during the months of September and October. Pre-registration is NOT required. Come as you are!

Websites about tai chi and its healthy benefits:
Mayo Clinic: complementary and alternative medicine
