The Orchardist – Book Club Feb. 16
Set against the rugged beauty of Washington State at the turn of the twentieth century, Amanda Coplin’s debut novel, The Orchardist, introduces readers to William Talmadge and his lovingly cultivated orchards of apples and apricots. Coplin’s characters are deeply rooted in the mystery of the American West, and she brings them together, like the grafting of Talmadge’s trees, to form a unique family bound not by blood but by the shared experience of tragedy, the land, and ultimately fate.

Pardon Our Appearance
We are in the middle of moving fiction books to the front of the library and non-fiction to the back. We need about a week to complete the process. In the meantime, things will be a little disorganized, so please ask if you need anything. We will find it for you.
Happy Birthday to Us!
2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the Clinton Community Library. We will spend the year celebrating our wonderful library and all it has to offer—wifi, Internet access, books in print, on CD and for downloading through Overdrive, Story Time, Common Threads, Battle of the Books, DVDs, crafts, and more programs. If you have a skill (dancing, drawing, writing, music, singing) and would like to share it, call us. The library encourages lifelong learning and we all have something to teach others.
