The Borne Ultimatum

If you enjoyed The Borne Ultimatum with Matt Damon perhaps you should read the original book published in 1990 by Robert Ludlum. We have a hard cover edition that is in good condition. It is always fun to read the book to see what the movie missed. It must be tough for an author to wait 17 years for his book to be turned into a movie, but he pulled it off! Only $1 for a hardcover!

StoryCon II - The Wrath of Eleanor

10/19/2014

 
Picture
StoryCon was a fun event and we sold a lot of books! The biggest seller was a book titled Eleanor by Jason Gurley. The talk of the show was that Jason secured a deal with a big publisher to re-release it so all current copies of the book may become more valuable than the sale price. Not a bad reason to buy a copy by visiting this link!

Join us for StoryCon 2014 at Vancouver Community Library this Saturday! Books from 30 authors will be on sale and the authors will be there for readings, signings, lectures and stories. It will be a great event and every book you buy makes money to help support the library!

Tom Clancy

It seems like we always have lots of Tom Clancy novels in the Booknook, but here are three Audio Book versions, The Hunt For Red October, Without Remorse and Bio-Strike. Audio books are great for listening when you are fighting traffic on the way to work, sitting on a plane on your way to Europe or just relaxing at home. Although not everyone has a cassette player anymore, you can buy a unit that will convert cassettes to MP3 and then you can put the whole book on your phone. All for $1 at the Booknook now!

Mongolia's Bookmobile

10/10/2014

The Trumpet reports that a book loving resident of the Gobi Desert, Dashdondog Jamba has been running a Mobile Children's Library for the last 20 years. After the fall of Communism in the 1990s most libraries were closed, so Mr. Jamba kept his love of books alive by roaming over 50,000 miles by camel, horse and cart, or now by van throughout the Gobi Desert bringing books to children and adults who otherwise had no access to books. Those of us who work at the Vancouver Community Library appreciate having a short commute to the library by car or bus. How would we fare bringing books to children in Mongolia by camel?
