Shopgirls by Jessica Anya Blau

"Admittedly, Blau is the author of my all-time favorite book, Mary Jane, so there probably is some bias in my love for Shopgirls. This was one of those reads that I wouldn't recommend to everyone, but it really scratched an itch for me. I enjoyed reading a story that felt completely untouched by the influence of the Internet. Taking place in 1985, Zippy's internal monologue, struggles, and relationships reflected living life without instantaneous access to information. This is a really fun coming-of-age and found family story. Zippy might be the coolest name ever. "

-Julia Bittner, Community Engagement Associate

Wow in the World: Dinosaurs Are Wow! by Mindy Thomas and Guy Raz

"I have loved the Wow in the World podcast for kids for years and this book delivers the same silly fun. The illustrations are almost blindingly vibrant and the pages are jam-packed with information, quizzes, and fun facts. There are even QR codes that link to the relevant episodes of the podcast."

-Amanda Golden, Library Assistant

Dolly was well known as a champion for early literacy. Her efforts with the Imagination Library program mailed over 314 million free books to children worldwide. This program not only encourages children and families to read, but put those books in their hands. Her impact and support of literacy will never be forgotten.
