Adult – What’s New

The building reopens Saturday, September 12, at 9:30 a.m., and we’re looking forward to seeing all you library-goers again! Some things will look very different; here’s a preview.

Heralded by The New York Times as “the closest thing to a classical Netflix,” medici.tv lets you stream performances by the greatest artists, ensembles, and orchestras from the world’s most renowned concert halls, festivals, and competitions.

It’s not just interesting to find out what books other readers have enjoyed, it’s a great way to get ideas for your own reading list. So when the Summer Reading Challenge wrapped and a quick tally revealed ten books were popular among participants, we had to create a list to share.

A book is a natural launching point for great conversation. Hear other readers’ opinions and perspectives; share your own insights. Registration for new and continuing members is now open.

If you’ve fallen out of the reading habit since it was required by a syllabus or children came along or life just generally got busy, you’re not alone. Or maybe you never developed a habit of reading for pleasure; again, you’re not alone! But no matter what you have going on, there are ways to work reading into your day — and reap the rewards.
