The Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society and the Friends of the Carlsbad Public Library will be hosting a book signing for Melissa Masterson, author of Ride the Waves to Freedom . Her book is the true-life story of Calvin Graef, a Bataan Death March survivor. She will be guest speaker for the Historical Society's monthly meeting on Monday, April 3 and the book signing will follow. Upcoming Preschool Story time programs for spring will feature books and activities on gardens, butterflies, bunnies, Cinco de Mayo, kites, trees, lions, and fish. The Proquest Periodical Database , a powerful database collection of magazine and newspaper articles on many topics, is now available not only for library, but also from your home Internet connection.
