Let me introduce...

We have a new person working in the Youth Servcies Department 20 hours a week.
Her name is Lauren and she comes to us with ten + years of experience working in a public library setting. Lauren is looking forward to hosting our monthly evening story time, Pajamarama. The next one is October 4 at 6:30 pm.

Need help finding a good book to read? Ask Lauren. She loves to read books and listen to books on CD.

Two books that Lauren recommends.

If you liked Rules by Cynthia Lord and A Crooked Kind of Perfect Linda Urban, try The Romeo and Juliet Code by Pheobe Stone. Set during the bombing of London during World War Two, Felicity is sent to live with reliatives in Maine where she undercovers several family secrets. The author successfully portrays a young girl who pushes the boundaries of her world, as well as that first blush of romance.

For those who are having withdrawals from Hunger Games and Twilight, try Matched by Ally Condie. "All her life, Cassia has never had a choice. The Society dictates everything: when and how to play, where to work, where to live, what to eat and wear, when to die, and most importantly to Cassia as she turns 17, who to marry."

Stop by the Library and meet Lauren.

Where's Emma? Don't worry, though Emma is no longer here during the week, you can still talk with her every Sunday.
