Today's Staff Pick is: The Seep by Chana Porter

"The Seep is a fascinating sci-fi novella that examines the dark side of utopia. When almost everyone in the world is infected by an alien parasite that makes dreams into reality, our main character, Trina, struggles to accept this new blissful world as she struggles with depression. This is a beautiful book about the isolation of grief." - DG Library Staff

“United takes you there” and in this case, brings you back!

A book was recently returned to us with this note from United:

“Hello Downers Grove Public Library!
This book was left behind on one of our flights landing at Chicago O’Hare Airport. We are happy to return it to you on behalf of your library patron - hopefully avoids a late/lost book fee!”

Library Love!
