Photo identification project - Phase 2

Last June we asked for your help in identifying the people and places depicted in a batch of photographs owned by the library. Thanks to the people of Henderson, many of those photographs have been moved from our "mystery" folder to their rightful place in the library's photo file index. We now have another set of photos that need your attention. If you're a life-long Henderson resident or are just knowledgeable of local history, please take a look at these photos and see if you recognize anyone.

The Genealogy and Local History Department would appreciate any feedback on the photos posted here on our website. Photos from Phase I of the project are also still available online. All photos are also available for your review at the library. The Library staff would appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks for your help!

Curl up with a Cozy Mystery!

January is a harsh month. The parties and other festivities that lured us out in November and December are over and many of us are less than motivated to face the cold 13 hour-long January nights. Many of us prefer to find the warmest place on the couch, curl up with a few books or the TV remote, and stay there until signs of spring begin to show. I am one of those hibernators myself and this winter I am encouraging my brethren to fight the cold and dark with something that sounds comforting and welcome--a Cozy Mystery.

A Cozy Mystery is a softer answer to the graphic, rough world of the Hard-Boiled Cop Mysteries. In Cozies, the sleuth is normally a complete amatuer when it comes to investigating a crime. These days the amatuer might call anything from catering to genealogical research his or her day job, but in older Cozies the sleuth is often retired or a writer. Murders or other violent crimes take place off stage, with the sleuth(and readers) finding out about them from friends, the news, or another indirect source. Our sleuth rarely says anything stronger than "Heck!" or "Shucky-Darn" and while the sleuths often have a romantic someone special in his or her life, the reader never follows the sleuth behind the bedroom doors. Cozy Mysteries, in short, are a gentle read for those who love to figure out whodunnit.

Cozy-mystery.com has an extensive list of cozy mystery authors and other mystery authors the web page creator loves. Our librarians have taken the liberty to check this list for authors we have in our collection and have complied our own list of Cozy Reads. To see the results of this search, come by and see our Cozy display all month long.

This just in ... December's new materials
