Reading Recommendations

Staff Picks

We’re always reading and watching everything in our collection. We’d say we were doing that so that we can make better recommendations for our patrons, but that’s not entirely true… we just REALLY like to read. And anytime you want to talk with our staff about books, just stop on by. We are ready to give you personalized recommendations based on the books you already know and love.

Interested in more in-depth book reviews?

Check out Staff Recommendations on our blog to find our thoughts and suggestions for books we’ve recently read (and most likely loved).
