Forbush Library announces upcoming events

Forbush Memorial Library, located at 118 Main St., Westminster, announces the upcoming events and new additions to the collection.

Great Decisions will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. beginning Jan. 24, for eight sessions. The sessions include discussion, lectures, and readings with former Ambassador George Lane and Dr. Kevin Hart. More information will be forthcoming. Sign up is required due of limited space.

Winter can be a good time to settle down with a good book for enjoyment and information. Some of the recent non-fiction additions to the Forbush collection include two biographies: Susan Roland's "The Pirate Queen: Queen Elizabeth, her pirate adventurers, and the dawn of empire" and sports fans will enjoy "Quiet Strength, a memoir [of] Tony Dungy with Nathan Whitaker."

For those who like a touch of history on a cold winter day, try Steve Vogel's "The Pentagon." Two books about U.S. politics are Michael D. Tanner's "Leviathan on the Right: how big-government conservatism brought down the Republican Revolution" and "Henry Kissinger and the American Century" by Jeremi Suri.

For a different "take" on reality, read "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman. Alan Alda (author of "Never Have Your Dog Stuffed") as written another funny and insightful book entitled "Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself."

Last, but far from least, right after the holidays, everyone is looking for ways to rid themselves of all the extra goodies they ate in December. Try Kevin Trudeau's "The Weight Loss Cure "They" don't want you to know about."
