Adults

SHARE YOUR SUMMER BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Adults are encouraged to come into the library to share their book recommendation of recent summer reads to other patrons. We will have a cork board at the top of the stairs leading to the children’s room. We encourage patrons to write and pin their books recommendations. For those who are unable to do it in person, you can submit your recommendations through the weekly check-in and we will add those recommendations to the board for you.
