Adie takes refuge in Tempe's journal but the further she reads, the more questions the diary raises in her mind.
As Cold Rock River rushes to its surprising, shocking ending, questions of family, race, love, loss and longing are revealed from the mysterious secrets that have been kept too long. And the dpeth of the connection between the two women united by place and seperated by race, and a century, is revealed.

How to Get a Library Card Request to Buy Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
How to Get a Library Card
To get a Library card, come to the Library at 201 S. College Avenue and bring identification and proof of your current address (driver's license, state i.d., a recent utility bill).
You will need to fill out a form at the Circulation Desk and you will be given your card. To make the process faster download the form, print it and have it ready for the Circulation Staff when you get here.
The process takes about five minutes, unless we are unusually busy.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
Interlibrary Loan is a FREE service where we ask other libraries if they have a book that you want in the event that we don't have it. If they do then they mail the book to us, we check it out to you, and then you return it back to us when it is due. We will then mail the book back to the lending library.
In order to utilize this service please speak to a library associate at the Information Desk.
Download a PDF copy of the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) policy.
