Everyone is invited to meet Niagara author Telsie Boese-Bell on Feb. 10 from 2pm to 3pm in the LaMarsh Room of the Victoria Avenue Library. Boese-Bell will take you on a journey through parts of her new book "The Soul". The book's goal is to help readers build a strong belief system that will ultimately support their destiny and help in times of trouble. It's mission is living in a world with peace and love.

The author notes that "writing about the journeys of my life, the lessons that have changed my belief system to include all faiths, all races and form a compassionate heart to assist the human soul to move through their life's journey, I begin a new chapter toward mastering my goals in my retirement years, seeing my life's dreams manifested into reality".

Boese-Bell life learning lessons include being a homemaker, artist, real estate agent, bed and breakfast owner, spiritual minister, counselor, metaphysical teacher, trainer and speaker.

Borrow Mario Beauregard's "The spiritual brain : a neuroscientist's case for the existence of the soul".

Added last year to the DVD collection is "Chicken soup for the soul" based on the inspirational best-selling books. The library has dozens of popular books in the "Chicken Soup" series.

Just published last year was "Soul to soul : communications from the heart" by Gary Zukav. Other books by this author available for borrowing are:

• "Thoughts from the Heart of the soul : meditations for emotional awareness"
• "The heart of the soul : emotional awareness"
• "Soul stories" , "The mind of the soul : responsible choice"
• "The seat of the soul"

All of these books can be enjoyed by listening to soul music from the library's compact disc collection. James Brown's 2005 autobiography "I feel good : a memoir of a life of soul" has been checked out many times.

New books about religion include:

• "Evolving God : a provocative view of the origins of religion" by Barbara J. King
• "Sacred causes : the clash of religion and politics from the Great War to the War on Terror" by Michael Burleigh
• "God is not great : how religion poisons everything" by Christopher Hitchens.
