From the Villages Library 2/6

Here at The Villages we can rely on our very own library. New books arrive monthly in regular and large print, chosen from among the bestsellers. There’s also a wall of mystery, fiction and non-fiction large print editions in the backroom. While you’re there, take a look through the biography section.

Did you know that the library has Consumer Reports? These magazines may be read in the library, but not checked out. Ask our volunteers for assistance. 

We’re open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Our latest recommendations (Large Print Books):

“Cher: The Memoir” by Anna Johnston. Publisher’s description: “Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center… With her trademark honesty and humor, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century.”

“City of Night Birds” by Juhea Kim. Publisher’s description: “On a White Night in 2019, prima ballerina Natalia Leonova returns to St. Petersburg two years after a devastating accident that stalled her career. Once the most celebrated dancer of her generation, she now turns to pills and alcohol to numb the pain of her past…She is unmoored in her old city as the ghosts of her former life begin to resurface: her loving but difficult mother, her absentee father, and the two gifted dancers who led to her downfall.”
