Miss Kelsey's Review

One Plus One
By: JoJo Moyes


"Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best"

That's easy for most people to say about their lives.

For other's not so much.

Jess is going through a lot of things at the moment. Her husband left with her raising two children (one of them is HIS not HER's), a pile of bills on the table and a crappy car that should have been sent to the junk pile a long time ago. Jess is trying to make ends meet but problems and situations keep piling on top of each other she doesn't know when to breathe. When her math-genius daughter gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a wonderful school Jess doesn't know whether to jump for joy that her daughter got accepted or cry because they don't have the funds for it. That is when she meets her knight in shining armor.

Well, sort of.

Ed has his own problems brewing up as well. He's a super Nerd with lots of money, gorgeous house and might be thrown in jail if his lawyers don't play their cards right. But hey, why not take a woman he just met, her math-genius daughter and her teenage stepson that is getting bullied for being a little "different" and their smelly gross hairy dog on a trip to the Math Olympiad should be a piece of cake. Right?

What neither one knows is that this trip will change their lives forever. But the real question is, is for the better? Can these two opposites stay positive for the long trip? Or will it explode?

Once again Jojo Moyes has brought a dysfunctional family together and shows us what can really happen when we open our eyes to see the big picture.

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
