LL about books

Books and reading are the foundation of our library.  We hope this page helps you select new (and classic) books to read.


Book clubs and reader's advisories:

Join our Dear Reader Book Clubs. Each day we'll email you a 5-minute portion of a book. During the week you can read 2-3 chapters and decide if you want to check the book out of the library. Every Monday we start new books. Sign up and start reading.  Clubs include:  Fiction, Business, Science Fiction, Audio, Nonfiction, Romance, Mystery, Pre-Publication, Teen and Good News.
