  • The Lost Library by Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass
     Readers won’t want to miss this story of a little free library guarded by an eleven year old boy who takes on the mystery that it keeps.  This exciting tale is “about owning your truth, choosing the life you want and the power of a good book (and, of course, the librarian who gave it to you)”.

• ADULT FICTION

  • The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose
