Lodi Library to stock Sarah Palin's book

The Lodi Public Library has ordered two copies of Sarah Palin's biography "Going Rogue: An American Life."

The library purchased the copies off Amazon.com.

"I would imagine they will be on the shelves by next week," said Nancy Martinez, the library services director.

Martinez said the library would consider adding more copies if significant interest in the book was generated and it developed a long enough hold list.

Books checked out of the Lodi Public Library can be held for three weeks.

Rep. Jerry McNerney collecting holiday cards for troops

Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, is collecting holiday cards for the troops at both of his district offices.

McNerney is collecting cards for service members recovering from injuries and stationed away from their families for the holiday season. He will hand-deliver the cards to soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. and to sailors and Marines at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.

"The holiday season can be a difficult time of year for the men and women who serve our country," McNerney said in a news release. "Being away from friends, family and the comfort of tradition during the holidays is an incredible sacrifice. Thoughtful words of encouragement and support from our community can make a huge difference in boosting the morale of our brave men and women, who serve our country with honor."

To participate in the program, make or purchase a holiday card, write a message of thanks inside to a service member and deliver the card to McNerney's Stockton or Pleasanton office by Dec. 2. Cards should remain unaddressed and envelopes unsealed.

McNerney's offices are at 2222 Grand Canal Blvd., Suite 7 Stockton, CA 95207; and 5776 Stoneridge Mall Road, Suite 175, Pleasanton, CA 94588. For more information, call 476-8552 in Stockton or (925) 737-0727 in Pleasanton.
