October is National Book Month. Please stop into our library and check out our monthly display of new books for all ages. For our adult fiction readers, “Dead of Summer” by Jessa Maxwell is an intriguing read. For Juvenile readers, “Very Bad at Math” by Hope Larson, a new graphic novel about hidden challenges, and for easy readers, “Orris and Timble: Lost and Found,” by Kate DiCamillo will entertain young readers.
