Library news from Sue: New books received this week:
"Go Set a Watchman" by Harper Lee - Twenty-six year old
Jean Louise Finch - "Scout" - returns home to visit her aging
father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights
tensions, her homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns
truths about her family, the town, and herself. "Dead Wake" by
Erik Larson: True in-depth story of the last crossing of the
Lusitania in 1915. Told through the eyes of all parties,
passengers, protectors, hunters; it brings to life a cast of
evocative characters. Stop in and check out these
fascinating stories!
Congratulations to Glen & Susie Wyatt who will be celebrating
70 years of marriage on August 1.

This is old news but worth repeating: LB93 went into effect
on 7-1-2014. It allows you to renew your driver's license and
have the word "Veteran" imprinted on it (at no extra cost).
You will first need to register with the NE Department of
Veterans Affairs. This can be done at
and then click on the button in the middle of the page
"Veteran Registry". You must register before you go to the
DMV to renew your license. Please share this information
with other veterans because it will allow you receive veteran
discounts at Lowes, Cabelas, and other establishments. If
you would like a paper application, please stop by the
Unadilla Village Office.
Congratulations to Dan & Babette McWilliams on
becoming grandparents again! Justin & Nikki
