Did you know?

Sometimes you learn new things just by accident. I have been using the computer or online card catalog for the Pember since about 1994. It has changed several times during those years.

What are you reading?

I needed something to read when I went to the doctor’s office the other day so I grabbed the paperback “Poisoned Pins,” a Claire Malloy mystery by Joan Hess.

Book Club

The Pember Book Club will be reading Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls.
