Storytimes are on break from May 1- 27. We'll start up again on May 28th, after Memorial Day weekend! We're busy getting prepped and ready for Summer Reading 2019! See everyone at the end of May…
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…
Harry Potter Book Night 2019 Preview
Harry Potter Book Night, aka the most wonderful night of the year, is rapidly approaching. If you've been hoarding your Galleons and Knuts for a trip to the Wizarding World in Florida, then we have just the HP fix for you at Abe and Jake's Landing next Thursday. Seriously you don't want to miss out…
Love is in the (Holiday) Air
I am usually the type of person to turn my nose up at holiday-centered romances. If someone is falling in love at Christmas time, I’m not the first person to put myself on the holds list or bounce up and down on my couch waiting for the latest Hallmark channel release. However, I'm a HUGE…
Amazing Olive Press Storytime
You may not realize it, but it’s almost the most magical time of the year. Although this phrase is commonly associated with the holidays, I can assure you that magical events happen on a near-daily basis here at the library. Day in and day out, those of us who work in youth services get to…
WHOA, That’s a Lot of Books!
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…
Offbeat Fantasy
Fantasy, like a lot of other genres, has a lot of tropes, plot devices, and character archetypes that at times make it predictable. Even with new worlds, strange creatures, and magic systems we have yet to comprehend, the genre has its limitations. Therefore, I’m always on the hunt for something a little off the beaten…
Fast Track to Teacher’s Pet + PRIZES!!!
If you've picked up your list of school supplies or tossed the school newsletter onto the mail pile, you already know: Back to school time is fast approaching! Whether you're excited for the start of the new school year, or hoping there’s an enormous time paradox that locks us into eternal summer, you'll benefit from…
YA in the Real World
I’ve been knee deep in young adult books lately. When life overwhelms me, I love to escape into YA fiction to read about characters who are tripping into adulthood and trying to figure out their lives. For some reason, reading the stories of characters whose lives are utterly full of promise is much more escapist…
