April is National Poetry Month! “A novel is a hearty meal, but poems are the Belgian chocolates of the bookshelf. You can pick one and linger over it. Savour the aroma, the taste, the melting texture, the sweet craving it leaves behind! Or you can scoff down as many as you can eat. It’s up to you.” ― Vicky Arthurs Please feel free to contact Jessi Finnie, Library Director, if you have any questions or comments! Jessi Finnie, Library Director

Wandering stars
by Tommy Orange
Tracing the legacies of the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864 to the aftermath of Orvil Red Feather's shooting, Opal tries to hold her family together while Orvil becomes emotionally reliant on prescription medications, and his younger brother, suffering from PTSD, secretly enacts blood rituals to connect to his Cheyenne heritage.

I lived inside a whale
by Xin Li
"A quiet child in a boisterous family, Emma Wen dreams of a world that is peaceful and silent. When she reads about the blue whale--with a heart so big her father could stand in it--she has an idea. She fashions a boat out of household objects and sails from her bedroom into the mouth of a whale, where she settles in happily. Emma has finally found her peace and quiet. That is until another child, Owen Tang, arrives inside the whale and is loud, noisy and 'everything she is running away from.' Emma and Owen's unlikely friendship blossoms inside the microcosm of the whale"

The bee sting
by Paul Murray
Avoiding the fact that his once-lucrative car business is going under, Dickie Barnes struggles to be a good person while his family falls apart, wondering if a single moment of bad luck can change the direction of a life and if there's still time to find a happy ending.
