So, no judgments here against myself or any of you, my dear readers, but 2020 has been, shall we say, aggressive with my middle-aged spread, and perhaps it has been similar for you. Being at home most of the time, and being pretty sedentary while I’m there, has kept me safe from coronavirus thus far, […]
So, yeah. 2020. It’s been a year. In the world of books, 2020 has seen book tours and book clubs (including mine) moving online and the delay of a lot of new releases. Books that were supposed to come out in the spring and summer got pushed to the fall. Other books got pushed to […]
Some authors publish so many books in a year, it can be hard to keep up with them at the best of times, and no one still needs to point out that 2020 has not been the best of times. Some of us around the library were talking about the authors who publish the most […]

And now this month they are finally arriving to get you in the holiday spirit. These are all Adult […]
It might just be me, but I’m excited about some stuff on this new DVDs list for November. The latest Christopher Nolan movie, Tenet, is coming. And after getting Seasons 1 and 2 of Babylon Berlin last month, Season 3 will be here this month. (If you’re not familiar with the show, it’s an amazing […]
There was a thin coat of snow on the ground when I got up this morning, so I guess that means it really is November! That also means a whole bunch of new stuff for you to check out, including holiday books. (Special holiday edition is coming Wednesday!) For now, here are the new Adult […]
The library offers a variety of digital services, from ebooks to homework help to streaming movies. In fact, there’s a lot to digest when you start looking at all the options, but we’re always here to help. At this exact moment, though, we can’t always help in the ways we used to. Because of the […]
