Hi everyone,

Due to staff illness, today’s story times are unfortunately cancelled. Thanks so much for understanding, and we can’t wait to see you back for more stories and songs soon! 📚✨

Staff Pick Saturday! Jacqui recommends: Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston.

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to slip backwards in time? For a time travel story, this narrative is surprisingly relatable. When the real world feels all too serious, escape into this heartfelt novel by Ashley Poston.

There’s a depth here, it’s not just a sappy romance. A thread of grief runs through the story, gently tugging at your heart just enough to make you feel it, without ever becoming overwhelming. It’s bittersweet yet satisfying, leaving you wondering what you might do if you could go back and speak to loved ones who have passed.

There is another layer to this story though; the slow burn between the main characters, Clementine and Iwan, is just the right amount of frustrating. Especially considering falling in love was never part of Clementine’s plan.

Readers can take what they need from this book: enjoy it as a light, comforting escape, or dive deeper into its themes of self-discovery and longing.
