New Fairfield Library

02/06/2026

Your friendly neighborhood librarians are here to bring you the latest and (hopefully) greatest, with this week's batch of NEW books.
First of the new arrivals is the sweeping historical epic from Hamnet author Maggie O'Farrell, Land--a haunting familial saga set in 1860's Ireland.
Next up is Tim Sullivan's The Bookseller, the seventh entry in his highly acclaimed and popular DS George Cross series--a police procedural set in England.
We dare you to get lost in The Jellyfish Problem by Tessa Yang, an original debut combining mystery and heart... with sea monsters!
You can't miss out on the newest drop from Ann Patchett: In Whistler, a woman reunites with her estranged former stepfather, with unexpectedly profound results.
The library also just got in The Children--an atmospheric, gothic adult fairy tale--by bestselling author Melissa Albert, as well as new novels from Mary Kay Andrews and Marie Benedict.

Which one will YOU be checking out?

Join us at the library June 10th for a guided sound healing journey, courtesy of Amy Ordonez of Studio 13 (in East Hampton). Amy will first discuss the meditative process of sound healing, before commencing with a group sound bath lasting 45 minutes. There will be time enough after the sound bath for questions, and even a chance to play some of the instruments. Come and experience a peaceful, shared soundscape of gongs, metal bowls, and more. Registration is open through the library events page. For Adults and Teens.*

!!NEW BOOKS ALERT!!!

Joining the library this week are some great new titles:
Take an epic journey through time and space with Homebound by Portia Elan, where one story will reverberate through centuries (themes of love, interconnectedness, and what it means to be human).

What lenghts will a mother go to, to find her missing daughter? That's answered in the latest pulse-pounding psychological thriller from Gillian McAllister in Caller Unknown ("Hello?" "Who's this?" "I don't know.").

Is Historical Fiction more your style? Look no further than It Girl by Allison Pataki, as she reimagines the life of America's first female celebrity. Rags-to-riches? Gibson girls? Shocking twists? It Girl is sure to have book clubs talking this Summer.

Or, are these sunny skies and 90-degree days making you crave the beach? Well, have we got the book for you with the most recent from Kristy Woodson Harvey: Summer State of Mind. A heartwarming romance in a cozy coastal town... just what the library ordered! Bound to be a beach read hit of 2026*

We have all of these (and more!). Come for a visit. Leave with a book (or several).

New titles this week!
What strikes your fancy?
If you're in the mood for a locked-room mystery set inside a haunted library, Ande Pliego's 'The Library After Dark' is for you.
Or, something more poignant with 'The Things We Never Say,' a quiet meditation on profound loneliness by Pulitzer-winning Elizabeth Strout.
Also in the mix is the newest from Kathryn Stockett, the bestelling author of 'The Help.' In 'The Calamity Club', we're thrust back in time to 1933 Mississippi, where a group of unbreakable women are trying to survive the Great Depression.

Your friendly neighborhood New Fairfield Library has something for everyone. Stop in and check 'em out!
