NEVEN FARQUHARBook Group Round-Up Kicks Off Summer Reading

It’s a chance for people who would like to form or join a book discussion group to meet. It’s a chance for established book groups to find new members. It’s a chance for readers to break out of old patterns and read something different, based on personal recommendations from others in the group.

Pet Of The Week: Buttercream The Cat
SHELTER News:
Buttercream is a light orange tabby with golden eyes. He is a 3-year-old neutered male.
Although he does not want to be picked up and held, he wants everyone to pet him. He has assumed the role of Cat Room Greeter. Buttercream gets along with most of the other shelter cats most of the time.
Sometimes his very active play annoys an introverted cat. He would like an indoor home with adults, gentle children, tolerant cats and maybe a gentle dog.
The Los Alamos Animal Shelter, 226 East Road, 505.662.8179, has a great selection of adoptable pets; see the Petfinder website for photos Read More
