March Youth Display: Celebrating Two Imaginative Authors

This month in Youth Services, we’re celebrating the birthdays of two authors known for taking readers on unforgettable adventures—James Patterson and Douglas Adams.

Our March display features Hawk by James Patterson and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, two stories that invite readers into exciting, unexpected worlds. Whether it’s high-flying action and mystery or a wildly funny journey through space, these books are perfect for curious readers ready for their next adventure.

Stop by Youth Services this week to explore the display and check out a book to take home. You might just discover a new story that keeps you turning pages long after the snow melts away.

We look forward to you checking out your next favorite read!

Women’s History Month Book Highlight: The Editor

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re featuring The Editor by Sara B. Franklin, a compelling novel that explores ambition, creativity, and the power of women’s voices. The story draws inspiration from the remarkable legacy of Judith Jones, the legendary editor who helped bring Anne Frank’s diary and Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking to the world. Through sharp insights into Jones’s impact on publishing, the book celebrates the vital role women play in shaping literature, championing new voices, and changing the stories that define culture.

Stop by our display this month to explore The Editor and experience a story that’s as thought-provoking as it is inspiring. We’ll see you there. 💛
