Spring is officially here, and we’ve managed to read our way through the winter blues.  This week’s #FridayReads feature a few more of our fabulous patron picks- both recommended titles and one not recommended (which can be just as important!). 

We’ve had a great turn out to our inaugural adult winter reading program with over 90 reading logs completed and returned.  The books chosen were across the board, and most of the reviews were thought-provoking and well-written.  To see what everyone read, check out our fiction and non-fiction book lists and expect a display soon!
