Mystery Book Review
Kill All the Lawyers
By Paul Levine
Third in the series, Steve Solomon is an unprincipled Florida defense lawyer with a conventional partner, Victoria Lord. Solomon and Lord, also partners in their private life, throw sparks with witty dialogue. The quick witted dialogue never stops, whether Solomon is interacting with Lord, her mother or his own father. Quirky characters make the books fun to read: Bobby, Solomon’s savant nephew and Solomon’s father, retired lawyer, round out the home life.
The book opens with a 300 lb Marlin attached to Solomon’s door. Unfortunately, newly released convicted felon, Dr. Kreeger, psychologist and killer, finds out that Solomon gave evidence to the prosecution and Kreeger wants revenge.
Solomon vs Lord and The Deep Blue Alibi, first 2 books in the series, also feature nonstop action and suspense with amusing situations.

Police at Preschool Program
A 2 ½ year old boy shakes hands with police Officer B (Greg Benedict) and tells him his name. Children were told if they need help or if they are lost they may go up to a police officer for help. Officer Benedict offered other safety tips to children and parents during preschool storytime at the Hibbing Public Library.
Mouse in the Library
The Mouse from the book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" stopped by the Hibbing Public Library.
No cookies were given to the mouse, but he stayed around to smile for some pictures.
