One of the best parts of our job as librarians is connecting readers with the right books. And one of our best resources in that effort is our book club coordinator Anne Brangwin. With more than 200 book clubs in five counties to keep happy, Anne prides herself on being well read across many genres of books. Starting this month, she will periodically share her reading recommendations for you in a blog post here on our website.
Here are her spring reading recommendations:
