Ongoing Experience at Your Library

Coloring pages and books are becoming all the rage among adults. Coloring can provide a calming effect and help deal with stress and reconnect to a more carefree time in your life – your childhood. If you would like to try coloring – check out the library corner with coloring sheets and pencils for you to use while in the library. Materials are provided by the Friends of the Ocean Shores Library.

"Small Town Cops" Author Visit by Donald Gill
Wednesday, April 3rd, 2:00 - 3:00 PM

"Small Town Cops" is a collection of actual, behind-the-scenes, true stories told by the man that lived them, Author Donald Gill.

Using his 36 year career as the blue prints for the book, each chapter is a different story from his youth to the final days of being a police officer. Some of the stories will take away your breath, frighten you, make you cry and make you mad. It’s a roller coaster of truth of what modern day cops face every time they put on the badge and leave their families.

The author has appeared three times on the Discovery Channel "Unusual Suspects." Don’t miss the engaging presentation complete with videos. A limited number of books will be available for purchase and all proceeds will be donated to the Ocean Shores Library.
