On October 23-31st, we join the National Red Ribbon Week in promoting awareness for drug & alcohol abuse. Come to Bedford Central Library, from October 23-31, to get your red ribbon and bookmark. We also have a wide range of substance abuse literature available in our catalog at http://catalog.library.bedford.va.us/. Choose 'any fields', then choose 'contain' and type in either drug or alcohol abuse and choose from a wide variety of educational and autobiographical accounts of people dealing with these issues.

This week’s pick is “The Golden Dream of Carlo Chuchio". Carlo has been put out on the street by his uncle and finds himself in the lowest of lows before setting out on a treasure finding expedition in the middle east. Armed with only his underpants, Carlo sets out on his journey after finding an ancient treasure map in a book. With a lazy, stubborn camel and a beautiful Kirkassi girl Carlo travels through the mysterious and sometimes unforgiving land of Keshavar. He risks his life for a treasure that may not even exist, but finds a wealth of experience and insight on the way. Will it be worth it?
