☀️ Happy First Day of Summer, Bath County!

Hot take: the best part of any vacation (or staycation) is the reading stack you bring with you.

So tell us: staycation or vacation this summer? And more importantly, what are you reading? 👇

Whitney's Staff Pick is a timeless one. 📚

The Giver by Lois Lowry is a Newbery Medal winner that has stayed with readers for decades and for good reason. This thought-provoking story about memory, freedom, and what it truly means to be human is just as powerful whether you're reading it for the first time or the fifth.

Available at Bath County Memorial Library. Find it in our catalog at bathlibrary.org.

We are obsessed with the slow-burn romance (which often but does not always include friends-to-lovers.) If you don't like slow-burn, you should reconsider.

Holly knows how to keep you up past your bedtime. 📚
