Books for a Fall Afternoon

As the weather turns cooler, there is nothing nicer than curling up with a good book, or two, along with a cup of tea or cider. We suggest the following pageturners:

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern - magical realism at the circus
Sister by Rosamund Lupton - a novel of suspense & genetics
State of Wonder by Ann Patchett - a 'pharma' mystery set in the Amazon
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh - life after foster care
The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin - rich American marries English duke
Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson - a psychological thriller for an amnesiac

September is Library Card Sign Up Month

Our renovations are almost complete and we're scheduled to re-open the library to the public on Tuesday, September 20th. We are sure you are excited about seeing your better, brighter library as we are to show it off!

September is National Library Card Sign-Up month and we want to remind parents and children that a library card is the most important school supply of all. In these tough economic times, your library card gives you free access to books and computers, homework help, assistance with resumes and job searches, book discussions, children's and adult programs, CDs, DVDs and so much more.

Please stop by the Circulation desk to apply for a card next time you are in the library.
