Mark your calendars! The traveling museum "Behind Barbed Wire: Midwest POWs in Nazi Germany" will be at the Rock County Library from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday, March 25. This mobile museum (a converted bus) will be parked on the west side of the library building. "Behind Barbed Wire" explores the experiences of Midwest prisoners of war in Nazi Germany during World War II. The exhibit consists of photographs, documents, audio and DVD documentaries, artifacts, and more. The exhibit will help visitors understand the conditions of the POW experience; how art and religion helped them survive and how the liberated POW’s later came to terms with their experiences.

"Lost Lake" by Phillip Margolin looks like an intriguing plotline. It's a beautiful summer night in Portland, Ore. Ami Vergano, a young attorney and single mother, arrives at her son Ryan's Little League game with their tenant and new friend, Dan Morelli. When the assistant coach calls in sick, Morelli volunteers to fill in. But then a fight erupts and, before the game ends, Ami witnesses violence that shocks and horrifies her and makes her question everything she thought she knew about Morelli. On the other side of the continent, in a cheap motel room in Washington, D.C., ex-mental patient Vanessa Kohler, a reporter for Exposed, a tabloid that specializes in alien-abduction stories, watches a piece on television about the Little League massacre and quickly places a call to the FBI. For years she's been telling everyone about a secret military unit headed by Gen. Morris Wingate, a presidential candidate. When Vanessa sees Dan Morelli fighting, she believes she's found the key to proving that her theories are true. Also new on the shelf is "Saving Cascadia" by John Nance. A few hundred years ago, Cascadia Island didn't even exist. It was a rock submerged beneath the Pacific. A massive earthquake changed that, exploding the rock upward, making it land — unstable land, according to seismologist Dr. Doug Lam. Lam has spent years researching the Cascadia Zone. He published a theory that the unrelieved tectonic strain beneath the idyllic landscape of Cascadia Island could be triggered with modern construction processes — with catastrophic results. The paper was disregarded by his peers and by mega wealthy developer Mick Walker, who stands to earn millions from the construction of a luxury resort on Cascadia. When a series of earthquakes begins to shake the Northwest Corridor, Doug's worst fears are confirmed. In an attempt to convince Walker to evacuate Cascadia immediately, Doug hurries to join guests arriving for the resort's grand opening. As the tremors wreak havoc across the Northwest coastal area, the military is left with too few resources to assist the people on Cascadia. Convinced that the island will be in ruins within hours, Doug reluctantly calls upon his girlfriend, Jennifer Lindstrom, president of Nightingale Aviation — a major medical transport helicopter company — for help. With snow falling, visibility dropping, and winds increasing, Doug embarks on an impossible mission with Jennifer and Nightingale's helicopters to evacuate more than 300 people, while smaller earthquakes continue to herald the approach of a catastrophic tsunami.
