Book of the Week
 Unbroken By Laura Hillenbrand
From the writer who brought you Seabiscuit, Unbroken is a compelling true-story of resilience in WW2. Louie Zamperini, an Olympic track runner (Berlin 1936), joins the Army Air Corps at the outbreak of the war. After his plane plunges into the Pacific Ocean, he survives 47 days on a disintegrating raft, only to spend the rest of the war being starved and tortured in a series of Japanese POW camps. This was one of the most popular non-fiction titles at the Haliburton County Public Library in 2011. If you haven't already read this unforgettable book, reserve it today in print or e-book formats at your library.
