What's New In Our Store?
In this bravura follow-up to the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller The Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys sentenced to a hellish reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida.
Here in Colorado, today is 'primary day', which means the 2020 Election is here! And so is this book, which tells young readers all about presidential campaigns and American politics--complete with stickers, activities, and a color-your-own Electoral Map poster!
From #1 New York Times best-selling author Ryan T. Higgins comes What About Worms!?
Tiger is BIG. Tiger is BRAVE. And Tiger is NOT afraid of anything . . . except WORMS! Are Tiger's worm worries worse than worms?
This bestselling illustrated series is perfect for fans of Dog Man and Captain Underpants -The Bad Guys - sorry, Shadow Squad-G - have finally saved the world from butt-handed evil. And now it's time to celebrate! But when one member of the team makes a shocking discovery, the party might be over sooner than everyone thinks...
They All Saw a Cat meets The Important Book in this sensitive and impactful picture book about seeing the world from different points of view by Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Honoree Christian Robinson.
This book was selected by our owner Sue as an important volume to add to the current discussions in this country. In a powerful collection of more than seventy uncensored poems and essays, more than fifty teenage boys from across the country explore their many-layered concerns: identity, love, envy, gratitude, sex, anger, competition, fear, hope. Here, unadorned and without the filter of adult sensibility, is the raw stuff of their lives, in their own words. Isn't it time to listen?

GAME REVIEW WITH BOOKIE KARLA
We featured CHICKEN WAR in our last issue and our gaming expert, Bookie Karla, has since had a chance to play it and has a review!
The Fourth of July is quickly approaching and The Bookies has a brand new game for your holiday weekend!
After completing your newest puzzle and finishing off hot dogs, corn on the cob and apple pie it's time to break out this standout game.
In order to compete (and hopefully win) you have to be on your toes. Reasoning skills, memory, strategy and attention to detail are all required. No winning by a lucky roll of the dice in this game.
A fun aspect is being able to win playing defense, as well as offense, and
ending the game with no warning. Order today and enliven your summer as it kicks into high gear!

ALL EVENTS ARE CANCELLED/DELAYED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THIS INCLUDES TUESDAY STORYTIME.
