Winter invites us to slow down, reflect, and find warmth in the things that matter most—
stories among them. In the stillness of the season, stories connect us, whether shared aloud by a crackling fire or quietly savored in the glow of a reading lamp. They remind us of the power of imagination, the comfort of familiar words, and the joy of discovering something new. May you find moments to wrap yourself in the magic of a good book and carry its light with you into the new year! --Ms. Masters

Time After Time: Books That Loop You In
Time loops: they’re chaotic, emotional, and always a little messy—just like these books! Whether the characters are reliving a day for love or self-discovery, these stories pull you into their twisty timelines. In Ms. Masters' latest book review, she explores time-loop books See You Yesterday, by Rachel Lynn Solomon, and The Do-Over, by Lynn Painter. Are they worth getting stuck on repeat for? Find out!

We'll also be completely closed--no printing, no book checkout, no bathrooms--one lunch during the last week of school before winter break, but we aren't sure which day that is, yet. We'll keep you posted! And please remember that the library sometimes has to close unexpectedly and without advance warning. Any time we're closed, there will be a large sign posted outside the door. Please don't walk by this sign and into the library when we aren't open!
