Great Summer Reads

Here are some great summer reads from the New shelf!

Something Like Fate by Susane Colasanti
When Lani falls for her best friend's boyfriend, she doesn't know what to do. But when Jason and Erin break up and Jason shows an interest in Lani will she follow her heart, even if it means losing her best friend?

Carter's Big Break by Brent Crawford
Meet up with Carter the summer after freshman year when he stars in a Hollywood movie and gets into all kinds of trouble. A hilarious sequel to Carter Finally Gets It, which if you haven't read yet, I highly recommend!


Toads and Diamonds by Heather Tomlinson
A wonderful fantasy about two sisters who are blessed by a goddess. One speaks jewels and flowers while the other speaks frogs and snakes. Set in historical India, Tana and Dirabani both go on amazing adventures thanks to the wondrous gift bestowed upon them.

Tie-Dye Pictures

The library's first Tie-Dye event was a huge success! I missed getting pictures of the large crowd at the beginning, but got some shots after the initial rush cleared out. Overall we had close to 100 people attend and make a fun tie-dye shirt (or socks!). Check out our Facebook page to see more photos.
