Miss Kelsey's Review

The Harbinger
By: Jonathan Cahn


Thirteen years. It has been thirteen years since the World Trade Towers went down. A time where everything just stopped. For we kept thinking who? Who on the face of the Earth wants to hurt America? And how do we protect ourselves so that this tragedy never happens again on our soil, foreign and domestic.

When it was my turn for the Recommended Reading and I saw that it falls on September 11 I knew I had to read a book that deals with 9/11. But that was a hard decision. There are so many books, fiction AND non-fiction that explains, proof of why and who, or guesses what comes next. It's amazing to see so many people have their own thoughts or facts on why 9/11 happened. And so many have made guesses on what the future NOW holds. Even though it's been thirteen years, the tragedy that took place on 9/11 still affects so many people. So which book could I use for this day, sort of a reminder what happened so we will never forget? Actually a patron that comes into the library a lot, a regular if you will, came up with that answer. They told me of this man who took real-life situations that is taking place as we speak and putting all the facts into a fictional story. When I asked the patron Why not put the facts into a non-fiction book? There replay was Would you have read it otherwise? He did it this way so that everybody would want to read it. The author, Jonathan Cahn was right? 

His book, The Harbinger, shows unbelievable parallels between the signs and forthcomings of Ancient Israel and the United States. Mainly their destruction. Using signs that are actually right in front of us, Cahn can literally link events that will take place based on History. Events that actually took place in the destruction in the Eight Century BC that shows us now how they relate to the 9/11 terror attacks. Nine prophecies, nine events that HAVE taken place in our history provides information of our country being vulnerable, foreign and domestic.

An inspiring story written in a fictional way while proving fact after fact about America. Today I ask you all to do one thing for me. While you are making lunch, watching the children, re-doing your roof, please take a moment and remember. It's difficult to want to remember such a tragedy, but in doing so we can move forward stronger as ever within ourselves and as a Nation. Check your local library on other books pertaining to the 9/11.

Guided Reading Level for Your Children

Here at the Shelby Library we love to help out.  Anything the public needs, we try our best to help them out. Now I'm not saying that we work miracles or anything, but if we can't find the answers we try to help you find someone who can!! Many of the times we would be getting patrons to come in that just needs to find a business.  Whether it be the businesses phone number, fax number or just point to where the building is!!  Many patrons heard a book on the radio and would love to read it, but just can't remember the title nor the author.  But they remember the radio station!!  We also get some people that come in and say I picked up this book not realizing it was part of the series.  Do you know the titles of the others and do you have them?  Or they saw a book on the book stand somewhere and want to read it but just can't remember the title nor the author, nor what it's all about but knows for sure, for sure that the cover of the book was Blue!   Those are jus

Happy New Year, Monkey

I know this is long overdue but.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! It has been very busy at the Library trying to get back at the pace of actually working.  Checking on book overdue, getting back into the habit of checking in and out books, helping people finding books, (remembering where everything is) and of course picking up that pesky habit of actually waking up and getting out of bed. :) The Library had no trouble picking up the pace though.  People coming in after the holidays looking for new books to check out; needing help with their NEW Nooks, Kindles and iPads that they got for Christmas; faxing, making copies for their work.  Or just people need to check their emails.  Just getting back in the habit of day to day lives.  Seeing familiar faces, talking about what we did on our Christmas/New Years vacation, who did we see.  And then seeing new faces just dropping by, on their way home but need a print of their plane tickets.   Now it is starting be like any other day so I have take

Goodnight June

Goodnight June By: Sarah Jio   When you were a child, stories were read to you in all forms. Now a days it's in the form of television and movies. But there was a time where adults used to READ to their children. Either it was to calm the child down, or just for pleasure. The child get to spend that time frame dreaming of knights in shining armor slaying dragons, saving queens. Or living in fairy tales and talking to animals. After the story ends, they either dream into that world, or not. It's just a bunch of stories. They are not real.   So when they grow up to be adults, that's all they think of children's stories....false. Not real, no real honor behind children's books.   Or is there? June Anderson is a successful professionally and living the dream. Only her dream doesn't quite reach into her personal life but for her she is okay with that. Until she receives a letter stating that someone from her childhood whom she loved very much had passe
