Westside Library - El Paso Public Library

An Open House reception was planned so that the community could preview the new Westside Library. At the time, the Westside Library was the first library branch opened in 27 years and was the first to be paid for by "direct community contributions for partial structure payment." People could meet the new staff members, Bill Lockhart and Lisa Bunker. Read more here: El Paso Times December 7, 1988

An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten For something completely different this Christmas, try out this little book. The stories are about Maud, an 88 year old lady who lives alone in her very nice, rent-controlled apartment. Maud figures things out and solves her problems on her own. The only problem is that she often solves them using murder. I found the book to be darkly humorous and an excellent commentary on how older people, especially women, become invisible in this world. There are several short stories in this book and one that is Christmas-themed. So instead of curling up with a cozy this winter, try getting to know Maud... if you dare! Find An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good  at the library!
