While Mathis is speaking to the librarian and seeing that he is having little luck, Joseph approaches the girl behind the counter.
"Hey, I'm Joseph. I don't suppose you would be able to help my friends an I with some of the books we are looking for? Or at least point us in the right direction?"

"Amanda," she gives a half smile, gazing at Joseph with one eye, a lazy eye off to the side, "I don't know what help I can be, I don't understand Aunt Mable's system. What are you looking for anyway?"

"Nice to meet you Amanda. I'm sure you will be able to help. We are looking for anything to do with the history of the town? Things that may looks into the unusual occurances? We also ran into some...creatures last night so a book to help identify them would be handy"
While he is talking Joseph remembers some of the others mentioning a lot of child deaths
"So how long have you lived here?"

Amanda comes from behind the desk her flowing grey dress with high collar seeming odd for a girl her age. "I'll help you look but I'm as clueless as you. And yes, I've lived here my whole life," she browses the shelves.

Joseph does manage to find a small pamphlet on Cobbs Corners and its surrounds. The general gist...
Cobb’s Corners lies in the mountainous woodlands of western Windham County, just to the north of the state highway, which joins Bennington and Brattleboro Visitors coming from Arkham need to take a twenty-mile drive from Brattleboro to Wilmington, and then turn due north for just under ten miles to reach Cobb’s Corners.
The town is blessed with a booming trade industry due to its location on the Deerfield River and the fecundity of its farms Chartered in 1787 by a group of farmers out of New Hampshire, the town was named after Franklin Cobb; the leader of the settlers, and the surrounding land is often referred to as Cobb’s Corners as well The farmland in the valley has garnered a growing reputation as the "Breadbasket of Vermont" due to the variety and abundant yield of its crops in a region usually known for its rocky, if not infertile, soil A small tributary of the much larger Deerfield River bisects the valley Cobb’s Corners is a place of great scenic beauty, a Rockwell painting come to life Small shops line the unpaved Main Street leading to the waterfront district consisting of a couple of warehouses and a few short piers Spread out behind the stores are a collection of homes, a public library, the town hall, a local sheriff ’s office, the office of the Cobb’s Corners Gazette, a one room schoolhouse, and an assortment of other buildings.
Access to the valley is by a two-lane road that meanders through the surrounding mountains Beyond the town proper lies the Gismend River Bridge (great for bass and trout fishing) Farming covers hundreds of acres of tilled soil bursting with a variety of crops, such as sweet corn. Any inch of land not used for farming boasts a cluster of trees, with thick forests of elms, oaks, and hickories in danger of taking over abandoned farms Standing majestically in the background, the Green Mountains rear up like a bulwark against the rest of the country.

Mathis will check over the books on astronomy to see if there are any special constellations or planets that are prevalent right now that usually aren't.

It takes an hour of serious reading but Mathis finds nothing out of the ordinary.
