The November Library Reads list arrived today and one of their top books is The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks by Shauna Robinson. “Maggie takes a temp position at a friend’s bookstore and gets more than she bargained for when she discovers the entire town seems to revolve around the legacy of author Edward Bell. Before she knows it, she’s selling books from a secret stash, planning author events, and finding love. This is a fun read for fans of Abbi Waxman and Emily Henry.” (11-1) Jaime Bink

The Cloisters is by Katy Hays. “Ann lands an internship at the Met’s Cloisters Museum, where she works on an exhibit about tarot cards during the Renaissance. After Ann makes a surprising discovery, she sets in motion a series of sinister twists and turns. This great debut set in the atmospheric world of dark academia is perfect for those who loved The Ninth House and Discovery of Witches.” (11-1) Shari Suarez

Kevin Wilson’s latest is Now Is Not the Time to Panic. “It’s the summer of 1996 in the small town of Coalfield, Tennessee. Awkward teenagers Frankie and Zeke just want to make art but lose control over their creation. This coming-of-age novel is uniquely compelling and shows how art can be appropriated by others and morph into legend. Fans of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow will like this one.” (11-8) Jill Minor

Someday, Maybe is by Onyi Nwabineli. “This is the story of a woman widowed by the suicide of her photographer husband. The novel walks through her grief process and what others outside of her grief must see. It’s a poignant story, while peppered with occasional humor. It’s still a heart-wrenching read and is for readers of You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty.” (11-1) Theresa Coleman

The Paws to Read program is a hit. Call and get a spot for your child to read to one of the sweet pups. November dates are the first and fifteenth.

Make plans now to attend the Mount Pleasant Tree Lighting, Thursday, November 17. We’re busy making plans for our Open House that same evening from 4-8. Jeanette has crafts for the kids and the Friends of the Library will serve refreshments.

Happy reading and we’ll look for you in the library!
