The Wanderers
by Meg Howrey
"Engrossing...Although the contours of a space drama may seem familiar to a 21st-century readership, Howrey, through the poetry of her writing and the richness of her characters, makes it all seem new. A lyrical and subtle space opera." -Kirkus Reviews

This week's Book of the Week is 'American War'
by Omar El Akkad.
In the frightfully near future America has fallen into a second civil war. Spurned by catastrophic natural events caused by the burning of fossil fuels and American policy, the nation is divided by political and environmental lines. The story follows multiple perspectives, including that of Sarat Chestnut, who is six when the war begins. Part eco-thriller, part war story, 'American War' shows once again that dystopian novels can be written well enough for readers of all kinds.

We keep it classy at the library. Tonight Molly Harper will help a group make cheese and shortly thereafter Bob Manley of Hermit Woods Winery will share the secrets behind their successful local wine operation.
Though we won't be drinking the wine, I'm sure the cheese makers will be thinking about how best to pair their cheeses with Hermit Woods wines. To round out the food themed week sign up for Thursday at 5pm for Book Bites.
It's also school vacation week! Bring the kids to the library to give them something to do. There will be a screening of 'Sing' today at 2pm and Vacation Legos on Thursday from 10:30-11:30am.
Happy spring!
