Thanks to all of our wonderful staff who provided recommendations! I can’t wait to see what they’ll recommend next.
I think this is a wonderful smattering of what our library has to offer in terms of reading options. We’ve got fantasy for the magic and mystical lovers, empowering and motivating nonfiction, a few graphic novels, some historical fiction for the history buffs, and of course mystery and suspense novels for those who love to be stressed out by what they read (not me).
