New Library Updates
LTPL has been hard at work on the plans for your new library! Please have a look at our updated floor plan and draft site plan. We are currently working on coordinating with utility companies, furniture selection, planning for new technologies, and so much more. We hope to break ground in early summer - and we will be certain to share that information as soon as we can.
 
The Library Board and staff are thankful to our team - Quinn Evans Architects, Civil Engineering Solutions and Frank Rewold & Sons- for their dedication to the project. 
 
Visit the Reimagine Your Library page on our website to stay up to date with the latest information as planning progresses.
 
Tales of Courageous Women
Song of a Captive Bird
by Jasmin Darznik

Reimagines the life of rebel poet Forugh Farrokzhad, a passionate young writer in search of freedom and independence from the restrictions imposed on women in mid-twentieth-century Iran.
The Once and Future Witches
by Alix E. Harrow

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters -- Juniper James, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna -- join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote -- and perhaps not even to live -- the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.
The Soul of a Woman : on Impatient Love, Long Life, and Good Witches
by Isabel Allende

What feeds the soul of feminists--and all women--today? To be safe, to be valued, to live in peace, to have their own resources, to be connected, to have control over our bodies and lives, and above all, to be loved. On all these fronts, there is much work yet to be done, and this book, Allende hopes, will "light the torches of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us, as we lived for our mothers, and carry on with the work still left to be finished.
