Lydia recommends "Himself" by Jess Kidd, a story following Mahony as he investigates the fate of his long-lost mother in rural Ireland. She loves the humor and wit Kidd brings to heavy subject matter, and particularly recommends the audio (available on Libby) which delivers a stellar performance. Part mystery, part dark comedy, part coming-of-age, "Himself" is a genre-bending delight.

"The seeds of [children's] dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.”
-Dolly Parton

Dolly was more than an icon and an artist, she was also a big believer in literacy and a friend of libraries everywhere. Her Imagination Library donated millions of books to children worldwide since its founding in 1995, helping spread the love of reading to all. Rest easy, Dolly, and thank you for sharing the love 📖💖
