Visit Your CVE Clubhouse Library!

Lita Andreano

 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.

This year we will be open on Monday, February 17th, President’s Day! We are open Monday thru Thursday from 10:00 to 3:00pm.

    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 print books.

    How do we obtain new books? The library sells items that have been donated. We have hand painted note cards, puzzles, artwork, jewelry and fashion items, etc. The funds we receive from these items are used to purchase new books. We are extending our 50% off on all items except those on our $1 dollar table, media and booksNeither CenClub nor Master Management fund the purchase of our new library books.

    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 and assistance, 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 2-1/2-hour shifts for our residents’ and staff’s enjoyment. Would you consider helping to staff the library? Please leave contact information at the library, and CVE Library President, Ruth Schroeder, will contact you. If you are not contacted, please come in or call at (954) 481-2898.

Book Review

Written by Hilary Nachbar

 

Einstein’s Secretary

By Michael Reilly

This book is a novel but is based on historical facts.  The main character, Hannah Fischer, was not only a secretary to Albert Einstein but also to many famous figures in World War II history. Without giving too much away, she later enters into work for the U.S. Government.  In the beginning of the story her personal life is most interesting and relevant to the times.

This novel is filled with much intrigue, mystery and suspense. It will keep you captivated.  It also has human interest and romance.  If you are a fan of historical novels, you will thoroughly enjoy reading this book.

I highly recommend it and its author, Michael Reilly.  This is the first book I have read by him and I am now intrigued to look into other works written by him.
