If you haven’t been on any device with ads for the last few months then you probably won’t be familiar with David Tennant’s smirking face as he embodies the demon Crowley in the latest book to TV adaptation: Good Omens by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman. If you’ve logged onto anything within the last few…

Discover Something New
You probably know this, but just in case you didn’t. LPL gets tons of new items every day. From the digital to the hardback book, from the CD, to the newest release for Nintento Switch, we are always getting something new. If you haven’t perused a New Shelf in a while (I’ll let you pick…
Romances You May Have Missed in 2018
I know it’s February and we’re well on our way to solidly being part of 2019. (I’ve almost written the date correctly every day this week.) But I love to start the year by reading some of the bests from last year. There are just so many good books that, even as a librarian, I…

If you’re a consummate follower of LPL’s lists, then you may have noticed some whoppers hitting the web. I have almost finished putting together my list of 100 Great Books for Toddlers (waiting on some replacements) while others in the Youth Services Staff have put together some other great lists of 100 great books. But…
