Dying Cry (Crooked Lane) will be available where fine books are sold on October 14th, 2025. Dying Cry Description:
While Deputy Mattie Walker and her family are snowshoeing in a remote area, a shattering cry pierces the air, dying slowly as it echoes off canyon walls. When further investigation reveals a suspicious death, the Timber Creek County Sheriff’s team springs into action, uncovering a trail of greed that leads to a killer who threatens Mattie’s cherished new family and tests her with the most difficult task she’s faced in her duty as a K-9 handler. |

Fiber Arts Night (FAN) First Tuesdays, October 7th, 4:00pm-6:00pm Carnegie Reading Room Fiber Arts Night, better known as FAN, is the 1st Tuesday of each month from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. This is for anyone working with fiber, which includes paper. We have spinners, weavers, knitters, cross stitchers, etc. Bring your project to work on or learn something new! We have craft kits in the library to check out and many of the regular attendees will most likely know what you want to learn and are willing to share what they know. It's a great way to socialize, get to work alongside other crafty and DIY people, learn new skills, and build new friendships. |

Green Trails Maps The Library has a nice selection of trail maps. The collection focuses on the Olympic Mountains and National Park but also ranges into the Cascades and Oregon. The maps are known for their "boots on the ground accuracy", laminated for durability and lightweight for packing. These maps complement our hiking book collection along with our gear that you can checkout like bear vaults, tents, pads and cookstoves. Keith Darrock, Library Manager |
