Adventures of Sheldon

The Library recently added a copy of The Adventures of Sheldon, a newly published children's picture book.  Author Brianna Harelson first created the Sheldon character as a clay animation for a video project in the Visual Communications Technology program at Century. Sheldon was such a hit as a claymation character, that when Harelson and fellow Alum Michael Berglund needed another project idea, they decided to use the colorful indigo blue Sheldon to develop their own children's storybook and audio track. Harelson wrote the story while Berglund sketched and designed all the illustrations.

Beware the Ides of March!

In association with the “Ides of March”, the library display case is highlighting books on murder, mystery, power, and betrayal! Check out the selections from your favorite mystery writers featuring Tom Clancy, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell and more.

Historically the Ides of March fall on March 15 which marks the assassination of Julius Caesar after a soothsayer's warning. In modern times, the Ides of March has taken on sinister implications of menace and doom because the date has been imbued with a sense of foreboding.

Cozy up with a good mystery for the chilly month of March!
