• PICTURE BOOK 

  • Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Lost Christmas by Alastair Heinz
    Poor Grinch, first he stole Christmas and now he has lost it.  The Grinch has grown to LOVE Christmas.  But when his plan to win Who-ville’s Christmas contest goes awry, will the Grinch lose his Christmas spirit?  Rediscover the true meaning of the holidays with this sequel to the timeless classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

• JUVENILE FICTION

  • Big Tree by Brian Selznick

    “Illustrated with nearly three hundred pages of breathtaking pictures and brimming with humor, wonder and mystery, and a profound sense of hope, Big Tree is a mesmerizing journey and a singular reading experience for the whole family!”  Don’t let the size (huge) of the book keep you from reading this epic adventure of two brave little seeds.

• ADULT FICTION

  • The Women by Kristin Hannah
    “This is the story of one woman who went to war (Vietnam), but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten.  A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.”  This book is flying off the shelf of our library!

• ADULT NON-FICTION

  • The Challenge of Acts:  Rediscovering What the Church Was and Is by N. T. Wright
    A new and in-depth introduction to the Acts of the Apostles from New Testament scholar and theologian N. T. Wright.  He “brings to the book of Acts his expert’s eye on theological nuance and cultural context, distilling it down into an introductory commentary, perfect for anyone looking to take their own reading a little deeper.”
