This past March we tried out a new event we called #LibraryMadness. Much like the NCAA’s March Madness basketball tournament (but renamed to avoid the trademark infringement), we took 64 books that NCPL patrons nominated during February and seeded them in 4 Divisions and let you vote matchup-by-matchup for your favorite book ever.

Most of us have way too much stuff in our house. I mean, I recently had to rearrange my entire basement, and I was shocked at just how much my husband and I own. And while all of us could probably do with downsizing a bit, some people have a dangerous amount of clutter and […]

Here at the Library, we love magazines. We have over 250 subscriptions for adults, teens, and kids, but on top of that, we also make regular runs to Books A Million to buy hundreds more. Today is, in fact, a Books A Million day. Just take a look at a small part of the haul. […]
