We honour those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945), and the Korean War (19501953), as well as those who have served since then. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served our country in this way, and more than 100,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace. LEST WE FORGET!

If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.” — Mark Twain The Casual Vacancy By J.K. Rowling When Barry Fairbrother dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with the poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town’s council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thoughtprovoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams." The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.

Cochrane Public Library Newsletter La vraie Julie Bureau par André Mathieu La vraie Julie Bureau, est, à 18 ans, une personne humaine merveilleuse : franche, directe, joyeuse, équilibrée, remplie d'harmonie intérieure et qui a su tirer parti de sa souffrance passée. Elle s'est reconnue quand je lui ai cité Nietzche : « Tout ce qui ne tue pas fait grandir. » Jamais le Québec ne s'est autant trompé que dans cette histoire. On ne connaît pas Julie, on ignore tout d'elle à part les quelques mots officiels, bousculés par les questions et l'événement, dits à une conférence de presse; néanmoins, on la juge, on la condamne, on lui jette tout le blâme. Les médias, qui ont vendu des ondes et des ondes, des pages et des pages grâce à son image osent demander si c'est par opportunisme qu'elle fait écrire son livre. Ses motivations et les miennes se sont rejointes bien plus haut que cela. Julie travaille fort, fait ce qu'elle aime et vit sa vie comme elle l'entend. Jean-Paul, l'homme qui croisa sa route en réponse à ses prières et l'a hébergée, lui a apporté ce qui lui manquait depuis trop d'années : respect et confiance. Le petit animal blessé, ensanglanté qu,elle était moralement à son arrivée à Beauceville est devenu un être si attachant... Et libre. Pas tout à fait, il manquait à sa liberté ce livre où elle ouvre grand son coeur et va au fond des choses. C'est en toute liberté que la jeune femme a choisi de retourner vivre avec son bon Samaritain et c'est en pleine liberté qu'elle y demeure. Je les ai vus vivre, je le sais. Ce livre est rempli de révélations très étonnantes. Il en sera de même de celui qui suivra au printemps et racontera la vie de Jean-Paul.

FALL OF GIANTS By Ken Follett Ken Follett’s magnificent new historical epic begins, as five interrelated families move through the momentous dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women’s suffrage. A thirteen-year-old Welsh boy enters a man’s world in the mining pits.…An American law student rejected in love finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson’s White House.… A housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with a German spy.…And two orphaned Russian brothers embark on radically different paths when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution. From the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty, Fall of Giants takes us into the inextricably entangled fates of five families—and into a century that we thought we knew, but that now will never seem the same again.… For step by step ebook download instructions, please visit our Website: www.olsn.ca/cochrane Or come to the library and ask our helpful staff, we will be happy to help!
