Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Just put a hold on the new Silvia Moreno-Garcia novel on Libby! I love that this summer has blessed us with a new Moreno-Garcia fantasy within a month or so of a new V.E. Schwab fantasy. Very excited to get to both!
