This month we will be reading The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes!

A Goodread's Choice Award Nominee for Reader's Favorite Young Adult Fiction 2020, Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why -- or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.

To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch -- and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.

If you want to attend, be sure to place a copy of The Inheritance Games on hold so you have plenty of time to read it by October's meeting. We hope to see you there!

Don't forget to register every teen who will be attending. Ages 13-17 only.

Parents/Guardians: please either drop off your teen or wait elsewhere in the library during the program.

All library programs are free and open to the public. If any individual requires an accommodation to participate in the library events, programs, or classes, please contact the host library location. Please contact the host location at least 3 days before the program/event.

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible Friends of the Library volunteers who give their time, talent, and heart to support our MCMLS libraries and enrich our communities.

Friends of the Library groups are dedicated nonprofit organizations that support their individual library locations through fundraising, volunteer work, and community advocacy. If you’ve ever shopped in our Book Nooks or browsed our annual book sales, chances are you’ve already met a Friend! Their generosity and enthusiasm make special programs, events, resources, and improvements possible.

From funding unique programs to advocating for valuable resources, our Friends make a meaningful difference every single day. We couldn’t do what we do without them!

THANK YOU to our MCMLS Friends of the Library groups — we appreciate you! 💛

Friends of the Stewart-West Branch Library, Library Friends of Conroe, South Montgomery County Friends of the Library, Friends of R. B. Tullis Library, Friends of the Willis Library, and Magnolia Library Friends

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱? Ask your local library how you can become a Friend!
