A Weekly Update for Library Events

October is National Book Month! And if you're anything like us, books make you happy. The National Book Foundation created National Book Month in 2003 in an effort to help raise the profile of reading in American culture. The month-long celebration coincides with the announcement of twenty-five finalists for the National Book Awards in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, translated literature, and young people's literature. Read about the finalists on the National Book Awards website; if one catches your interest, you can easily place a hold on our website or app!
