    Readers’ Advisory Committee AUGUST 2020 Staff Picks Digital and Print Edition Go to www.lib.de.us to find out how! FICTION SEVEN LIES BY ELIZABETH KAY (PICKED BY SP) Growing up, Jane and Marnie shared everything. They knew the other’s deepest secrets. But when Marnie falls in love, things begin to change. Because Jane has a secret: she loathes Marnie’s wealthy, priggish husband. So when Marnie asks if she likes him, Jane tells her first lie. After all, even best friends keep some things to themselves. If she had been honest, then perhaps her best friend’s husband might still be alive today… For, of course, it’s not the last lie. In fact, it’s only the beginning… Seven Lies is Jane’s confession of the truth—her truth. Compelling, sophisticated, chilling, it’s a seductive, hypnotic page-turner about the tangled, toxic friendships between women, the dark underbelly of obsession and what we stand to lose in the name of love. (352 pgs) THE SILENCE BY SUSAN ALLOTT (PICKED BY SLS) It is 1997, and Isla Green is awakened by a call in the middle of the night: her father phoning from Sydney. Thirty years ago, in the summer of 1967, the Green's next-door neighbor Mandy disappeared. At the time, it was thought she fled a broken marriage and gone to start a new life; but now Mandy's family is trying to reconnect, and there is no trace of her. Isla's father Joe was allegedly the last person to see her alive, and now he's under suspicion of murder.

  • Theroad for Safer Senior Drivers
    PAVING the ROAD for Safer Senior Drivers Letter From the Governor Fellow Delawarean, We want you safely driving as long as possible. That’s why our Senior Driving Task Force, a great group of partners of state and private agencies, worked together and designed this guide. As the number of older drivers across the United States increases, Delaware boasts the fastest growing older population in the country. Studies tell us that experienced older drivers are less likely to speed or drink-and-drive and more likely to wear safety belts, but also are more likely to be hurt in a crash. This guide provides helpful information and some steps you can take to ensure you are comfortable and in control behind the wheel. We want to keep you safe and mobile for as long as possible on Delaware’s roads – and all roads. Delaware does more for senior drivers and this is one part of our effort to pave the road for you. Safe journeys, Jack A. Markell Governor of Delaware TABLE OF CONTENTS Delaware Does More for Senior Drivers __________________________ 1 Introduction ______________________________________________________ 2 Driving in Delaware ______________________________________________ 3 Driver License Information ___________________________________ 3 Titling/Registering Your Vehicle _______________________________ 5 Handicap Plates/Placards _____________________________________ 7 Next of Kin Registry __________________________________________ 8 Motor Vehicle Fees ___________________________________________ 8 Reading the Road ________________________________________________

  • Mark Dalton – Smartdriver 2 Trouble Load
    In Mark Dalton: SmartDriver, owner/operator Mark Dalton took a young know-it-all driver named Jimmy on a coast-to-coast trip that included everything from road rage, stolen cars and hijacking to kidnapping and attempted murder. Along the way, Mark Dalton learned a lot about fuel-efficient driving, and Jimmy learned that not everything about trucking can be taught in the classroom. Now, after a successful conclusion to their cross-Canada adventure, Mark is looking forward to an easy westward trip home. Problem is, there is no such thing as easy when Mark Dalton’s behind the wheel, and what starts out as a milk run quickly heads south, literally, as they take a load into California, where the laws are strange and danger lurks behind each truckstop. Natural Resources Canada – through the Office of Energy Efficiency’s ecoENERGY for Fleets (FleetSmart) – helps commercial and municipal fleets reduce fuel consumption and emissions through improved energy-efficient practices.
