Looking for a book
by Hartford Public Library 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Dear Friends,I know this is a long shot. I have a patron who is looking for a book that she read 20 years ago. The story was about a girl who was treated like a slave living on a ranch and she then gets her revenge. The patron says the title is Mercy,Mercy, Mercy. I can not find this book. Does it sound familiar to anyone? Regards,Stephanie DanielsHartford Public Library

Beatles program inquiry
by Perri Saunders 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Have any of you ever worked with Aaron Krerowicz on a Beatles program? He's going to be in our area this summer and I think a program on the Beatles would be great, but I wonder if he's not a bit too analytical and dry. If you've worked with him, please let me know how it went. Thanks, -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O. Box 399 White Pigeon, MI 49099 269-483-7409 *p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us <p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us> * *Brighten the corner where you are.*
