    Visit the Durand Library and take a look – 30 new titles have been added to the village collection. These books are all stacked together on a separate shelf, just waiting to be checked out.

    These new titles include the tragic and unsettling story Killers of the Flower Moon. The movie, which is based on this story, recently received multiple nominations. In Killers of the Flower Moon, David Grann revisits a shocking series of crimes against Native Americans in which dozens of people were murdered in cold blood. Based on years of research and startling new evidence, the book is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, as each step in the investigation reveals a series of sinister secrets and reversals. Killers of the Flower Moon is a tragic tale that is utterly compelling.

    Lessons in Chemistry, which is loosely based on a true story, is also on the shelf. This novel by Bonnie Garmus is set in the 1950s and sharply, and at other times with poignant humor, tells the story of an aspiring young female chemist and how she has to fight for her place in a men’s world. The series is also now streaming on Apple TV+.

    The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store tells the story of a small town and its diverse residents who have lived together for decades. Events challenge relationships and the story braids many threads together. The author James McBride is an award-winning writer.

    A nonfiction work that forces a look at the animal world in a wholly different way is entitled How Animal Senses Reveal Hidden Realms Around Us. The author, Edmund Soon-Weng Yong, is a British-American science journalist and author. In 2021, he received a Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for a series on the COVID-19 pandemic.

    For Stephen King fans, the library now includes three new novels, which follow the character Holly as she develops her own personality and investigative abilities. Also from King is one of his newest books The Institute, a chilling story – what else would a King book be – of a bright young boy who is spirited away to be an unwilling participant in a government program.

    Finding Dorothy is an eye-opening story of how The Wizard of Oz became one of the most beloved movies of all time. The heroine is Maud, the wife of Oz author Frank Baum. She lunches with Judy Garland and spends time at the movie set and breathing the magic and spirit of her husband’s work into the movie. Author Elizabeth Letts challenges the reader to learn what is real and what is fiction in this historical novel.

    And finally, there are several new titles by the popular novelists Kristin Hannah, Jodi Picoult and Taylor Jenkins Reid. These titles include The Four Winds by Hannah, The Storyteller by Picoult, and Daisy Jones and the Six and Carrie Soto is Back by Reid.
