Easy ways to support your local library!

Here are three ways to get started:

1) Get a library card (it’s free and usually just requires proof of residency!)
2) Attend your local library’s events and programming.
3) Advocate for increased support and funding.

Teddy's pick this week is the dark, romantic fantasy 'Phantasma' by Kaylie Smith. When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals.
