Literary events, book groups, and recommendations!
Reader's News From the Library
January 22, 2021
Welcome to our first edition of Reader's News! This will be a supplement to our usual biweekly newsletter that will highlight book groups, literary and author events, and offer reading recommendations. Let us know what you think!
You can find more reading recommendations from staff on our website!
Meet a Librarian!
What is the best way to get to know a librarian? By getting them to dish about books, of course! Each month, we will introduce you to one of the librarians of Chelmsford Public Library. This month, we talked to Danny Lykansion, Head of Reference.

The first part of our latest episode focuses on historical fiction, something we know a lot of you like to read. Jess talks about two traditional historical fiction titles and Deanna discusses two historical fiction titles that tell the stories of real people. The second part of our show is a lightning round of six books we’re excited to read!
If your "To Be Read" pile needs some new titles for 2021, we have a great list for you! Shared during our first Book Brunch book share meeting (watch for the next one in March!), this list is composed of titles to satisfy almost any reading taste, recommended by readers just like you.
Make a resolution to Read Bigger in 2021!
Join our Winter Reading Challenge - complete a card and return it to the library by March 7, 2021 for a chance to win some great prizes! You only need one BINGO to be entered into the prize drawing, but we encourage you to stretch yourself to read in as many different categories as you can. Need help choosing what to read? We've created lists for many of the categories, included below and available for pick up in the library.
