Summerween? It's "a fictional holiday that mashes up the spooky fun of Halloween with the heat and energy of summer." Sounds like a good way to imagine ourselves cool! 🍦 Check out these seasonally spooky YA selections to get in the spirit. 👻

Library Construction Update:

Site preparations are underway for construction of Maitland's new public library at Quinn Strong Park near Packwood Avenue and Maitland Avenue.

Last week, Duke Energy removed light poles and electric service lines. Demolition of the existing buildings - a former medical office and the old Maitland Senior Center - could begin this week.

The project will build a two-story, 20,000-square-foot library in a little more than a year, replacing the existing library building nearby at 501 S. Maitland Ave.
