The branch that became the Dinwiddie Branch library has the distinction of having been located at various times in two different trailers. In 2000, the Dinwiddie Branch, ARLS, moved from its last trailer into the renovated Circuit Clerk’s Office in the historic Dinwiddie Courthouse complex. This historic setting puts the library next door to the Dinwiddie County Historical Society.

Author Claire Cook, made popular by her hit novel Must Love Dogs, pens a winner with the easy-to-read Life’s a Beach. The story’s main character, 41 year-old Ginger Walsh, is trifling with her art and dabbling in a casual relationship with glassblower boyfriend Noah, while happily living above her parent’s garage with her cat named Boyfriend. Her career-driven sister’s impending 50th birthday and her nephew’s landing a film part forces Ginger to think outside of herself and to finally grow up. Cook provides a fresh look at midlife crisis.
On the surface the book is light, but you’ll find lots of think about while laughing along with the quirky characters who work through sibling rivalry and self-actualization.

Today the entire concrete foundation is poured and curing. Areas are being sanded and perfected. Along the side facing the courthouse, earth is being excavated back from the foundation to allow for waterproofing sealant to be applied. This area at the end facing the trees is the future children’s area.

Elizabeth Gilbert hit publishing pay dirt with her Eat, Pray, Love. She decided to try to mend her soul following the painful ending of first marriage by globetrotting. She sought spiritual enlightenment in India, then delicious food in Italy, and ended up with an unexpected romance in Indonesia. It repaired her soul, and yielded her a bestseller nonfiction title at the same time. It was irresistible stuff, especially for female readers.
Her latest book is also nonfiction, but a bit different. This was not the book that Elizabeth planned to write, but one day in an airport, Homeland Security dragged her boyfriend off (he’s the unexpected romance from Indonesia) and told them both, sorry, we are kicking him out of the country because of limitations on visa renewals. If you want to live with him in the USA ever again, you are going to have to marry him first.
