The City of Fairbank will be offering a one-day storm-related tree debris pickup for Fairbank Residents ONLY that have a considerable amount of brush they are unable to haul away. Pickup is planned for Monday, August 17th. If you would like to be added to the pick-up list, you must call City Hall at 319-635-2869. Please cut trees/limbs/brush into manageable-sized pieces and pile them next to the curb. Root balls from uprooted trees will NOT be picked up. Please note that Monday is also garbage pickup day. To help both crews, please keep garbage containers and tree/brush piles easily accessible and separate so pickup can be completed safely and efficiently. Thank you for your cooperation!

New! "The perfect escape!" ―Lucy Score, #1 New York Times bestselling author, for He Falls First

College rivals become workplace frenemies-turned-lovers in this warm, sexy contemporary romance from New York Times bestseller Jill Shalvis. First, they were rivals… Now they're stuck with each other…

Retired hockey player Caleb Colburn needs this construction project to prove himself in the family business, but he also needs to recover from the injury that ended his pro career. Too bad Emma Sumner, architect liaison and Caleb's college nemesis, is back in town and assigned to the project. They're going to have to see each other almost every day. Which means once again she'll make his life a living hell.

As for Emma, her job is on the line with this big project, made all the more challenging by the project manager. Caleb was the one who had snagged the scholarship she'd desperately needed to stay in college. She's been living hand to mouth ever since and has no intention of ever forgiving the man.

But the beautiful historic building they're renovating is exactly the kind of project that they both love best. Their surprising common ground and a burning mutual attraction start bringing them closer and closer to a potentially explosive mistake. And that's even before the secrets come out…

New! Come along with an adventurous and charismatic independent journalist (perhaps you're one of his four million subscribers on YouTube) on a journey through some of the very best of America, reminding us of all the reasons we’ve got to love this place and one another.

Have you ever swapped stories on a porch with Amish snowbirds in Florida? Searched for reindeer with the Siberian Yupik in Alaska? Been a guest on a houseboat deep in the Louisiana bayou?

Peter Santenello hadn’t either until, after years spent traveling through eighty-five countries and living abroad, he realized the most unfamiliar territory was often his own American backyard. And so, with a camera in hand and an open mind, he began visiting communities across the country, places that most of the media overlooks or misrepresents, from tiny towns in Appalachia to the streets of East LA.

What began as curiosity became—one story at a time—an intimate, revealing portrait of America today.

From road trips and chance encounters to dinners shared in locals’ homes, Your Fellow Americans captures what makes this country so dynamic, so resilient, and, most of all, so very human. Because what Peter discovered on his travels wasn’t a nation torn in two. He found something more complex and more powerful: People who want to be seen, who are willing to listen, and who still believe we’re more alike than we are different.

With humor, exuberance, and reverence for the human spirit, Your Fellow Americans is a celebration of the United States that exists far beyond the headlines—and an invitation to sit down, open up, and rediscover the soul of this place that we call home.
