🌟 Hot Off the Press & Ready for a New Home! 📚
Did you just finish reading one of this year's biggest bestsellers? Don't let it gather dust on your shelf—pass the magic along!

We are looking for donations of recent bestsellers and new releases to help refresh our bookstore. If you’ve turned the final page on a popular new book and are ready to clear some space, we would love to give it a second story here at the library.

Your donations keep our collection vibrant and ensure that our community always has access to the latest and greatest reads.

🕒 How to Donate:
What we're looking for: Clean, gently used copies of recent new releases, popular fiction, and non-fiction.

Drop-off to Kim! Please bring your book donations directly to the front desk during our regular operating hours. Kim handles all the organizing and prepping for our bookstore, and she (along with the rest of our team) can't wait to thank you in person!

As a non-profit, we rely on the incredible generosity of neighbors like you to keep our library a thriving, cost-free hub for community discovery and growth. Your donations truly make all the difference! 💙

“She doesn’t connect to much in her life, period, with the exception of three things—her computer, her BlackBerry, and her watch.”

Inside the book: Emily is thirty-two, a lawyer married to a lawyer, working in Manhattan. An idealist, she had once dreamed of representing victims of corporate abuse, but she spends her days in a cubicle talking on the phone with vic­tims of tainted bottled water—and she is on the bottler’s side.

And it isn’t only work. It’s her sister, her friends, even her husband, James, with whom she doesn’t connect the way she used to. She doesn’t connect to much in her life, period, with the exception of three things—her computer, her BlackBerry, and her watch.

Acting on impulse, Emily leaves work early one day, goes home, packs her bag, and takes off. Groping toward the future, uncharacteristically following her gut rather than her mind, she heads north toward a New Hampshire town tucked between mountains. She knows this town. During her college years, she spent a watershed summer here. Painful as it is to return, she knows that if she is to right her life, she has to start here.
