Hello, September!
Make sure to sign up for our new bookish
newsletter! It includes reviews on newly
released titles, book recommendations,
information on book clubs happening at
the library and other literary things you

"We're headed back to the world
of Ella and Lucinda from Ella
Enchanted and we couldn't be
more excited to meet the newest
character in town, Evie.
Evie is happiest when she is ,
healing people. But when Lucinda `
comes to town she transforms our heroine into a
hideous ogre. Will she be stuck as an ogre
forever?
Find out in this new adventure by award
winning author Gail Carson Levine."
Curious to know what's going on in the
