     For those new to CVE please come in to browse or join our library.  It’s located in the Clubhouse lower-level across from the Billiard room, which is located on the shuffleboard courts side of the Clubhouse.

      If you have a CVE ID, come in and borrow one of our 5,000+ holdings, read the New York Times, or shop at our variety of boutique items for sale. If you cannot find the book, ask a Library volunteer to assist you. They will look the book up on our tablet. If we have the book, they will let you know where to find it on our shelves. We have two types of circulation.

     Reserved Circulation contains our newest books, which are constantly arriving. Becoming a Friend of the Library for an annual $3 donation will allow you to borrow these new books. A Friend may also waitlist-reserve a book currently borrowed. Ask a Reservist how this works. Once interest in a new book diminishes it is placed in Regular Circulation. We have both regular print and large print books. Kindly look at the listings below for the new regular and large print books.

    How do we obtain new books? The library sells items that have been donated. We have greeting cards, puzzles, artwork, jewelry and fashion items, etc. The funds we receive from these items are used to purchase new books. Neither CenClub nor Master Management fund the purchase of our new library books. However,

we do appreciate the CenClub subscribing to our daily New York Times and Wall Street Journal. In order to read these newspapers, you will leave your ID at our desk until you return the newspaper.

    Have donations? The library gladly accepts artwork of any media, puzzles, boutique items, as well as fiction books written in the last 10 years, and non-fiction books in good condition. Your support for the purchase of new books for the library, is greatly appreciated.

      A convenient book drop box, to the left of the library entrance, is available for use when the library is closed to return and/or donate books.

     Volunteers staff the library in 2-hour shifts for our residents’ and staff’s enjoyment. If you’d like to volunteer, please leave contact information at the library, and CVE Library President, Ruth Schroeder, will contact you. You can also call at (954) 481-2898.

Book Review by Hilary Nachbar

Judge Stone

By James Patterson and Viola Davis

Let me start off by saying I hope Mr. Patterson collaborates with Ms. Davis on a second book.

I truly enjoyed this book from cover to cover. This novel takes place in Alabama. It is about a doctor who is on trial for performing an abortion on a 13-year old girl. This is illegal now in AL. The trial stirs up the citizens in Union Springs like you would expect in a trial of this nature. The pro-lifers on one side, the freedom of speech and body on the other side. And if that’s not enough, the Ku Klux Klan is involved as well.

There is quite a bit of drama, heartbreak as well as some light moments in this thought-provoking story.

Judge Stone is the main character and a very powerful and influential person as well as a very family-oriented individual.  She puts herself in danger because of her opinions and rulings in this case. Judge Stone is willing to fight to make sure there is justice.  I highly recommend this book. You will not be able to put it down. It would make a terrific, blockbuster movie someday.
