Each day, we will post the title of the book or series and a brief description, recommended especially for you by our library staff. Occasionally we will throw in a fitness video, graphic novel, magazine, movie, or television show as well. All recommended media is available through our e-library via OverDrive, Libby, Hoopla, or Flipster!
