A Note from the (Interim) Editor
One of my very favorite tasks as a librarian is recommending books to patrons. Admittedly, I am a bit lopsided in my recommendations. I encourage patrons to try items that don't get the love that (I think) they deserve. Sending a lonely, overlooked book home with someone is a bit like encouraging them to adopt a pet, except the book won't wee all over the living room or shred your couch. Everybody wins!
I asked other library staff for their "hidden gem" recommendations, and some of them are below. I will feature more of them next week. If you would like some personalized book recommendations, click the picture above and let librarians curate a book bundle for you.
