The "wild west"






Western lovers were treated to a special medley of western music along with some great dancing by the local high school dance corp . They danced to such tunes as soundtracks from "Rawhide" and "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This is an annual spring performance and one I would recommend attending in the future if you didn't enjoy the one this past weekend.
Here at the library we have a very large collection of books by authors of western writings. The three pictured above are books by Tony Hillerman, Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey, all of who are now deceased. We have 89 books by L'Amour which doesn't include the many by him we have on audio format. We have 20 by Zane Grey and 13 by Hillerman. Hillerman is my favorite. Some other western authors in our collection are Lewis Patten, Ray Hogan, Kelton, Mccoy and Johnstone just to name a few. We have a standing monthly order to receive 2 western books from one of our large print distributors which continues to add new books to the library.
