Join the Fact or Fiction Book Club in discussing "The Boys" by Ron Howard. Copies are available at the Highland Branch.
For Ron, playing Opie on The Andy Griffith Show offered fame, joy, and opportunity-- but also invited stress and bullying. For Clint, a fast start petered out in adolescence, with some tough consequences and lessons. Here they examine their childhoods in detail for the first time, delving deep into an upbringing that seemed normal to them yet was anything but. Their book is a journey of a tight four-person family unit that held fast in an unforgiving business, and of two brothers who survived "child-actor syndrome" to become fulfilled adults.

The Highland Branch Library has long played an important role in downtown Highland. From its beginnings in rented storefronts to the Highland Memorial Library built in 1946 to its present location on Jewett and 4th Street, it has been an integral part of the community. The exterior of the library looks nearly as it did when it was first built in 1966. Although it is one of the oldest buildings in the library system, it's newly remodeled interior makes it one of the newest. The library still houses over 65,000 items, but now also features a large meeting room and children's program room, a small group room, and WiFi, along with many public Internet computers. These features, along with the library's bright and inviting atmosphere and convenient location, make the Highland Branch Library a destination for the community and surrounding areas.
