A monthly update from the Friends of Shorewood Public Library
 Friend Your Library in October
National Friends of Library week is October 15-21, 2017. This annual celebration recognizes the work of Friends groups in libraries throughout the country and the contributions they make to their libraries and communities.
Watch for the following opportunities to learn about the Friends of the Shorewood Public Library throughout the month of October:
- The display cases in the library foyer will recognize Friends' donors, showcase the next Shorewood Reads (coming up in spring 2018) and the Friends' new Memorials and Special Tributes program.
- Throughout October, Friends' board members will greet patrons at a table in the library. Patrons can purchase a Friends mug, get a free "Be a Friend" bookmark, request information on Friends programs, donate to the Friends and learn how to recognize book lovers with a Memorial or Tribute. See the schedule on the Library events calendar.

October means dry leaves rattling in the wind, a chill in the air (we hope), and an undercurrent of eerie energy thanks to Halloween and the seasonal change. Here are a few recommended reads for the season.
For even more recommendations, follow our staff blog and explore our curated booklists on all kinds of genres, topics, read-alikes and more.

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero
This is a witty horror novel about a gang of teen detectives in their twenties, returning to the scene of one of their old cases to discover that the monsters were real and the man in the mask was only a red herring.

Fans of murder mysteries and psychological thrillers will enjoy this fictional portrait of Patricia Highsmith, the "queen of suspense" and author of
The Talented Mr. Ripley among others. Dawson's spin on a period of self-imposed exile in Highsmith's life is a hallucinogenic, atmospheric and suspenseful quick read.

Sulfur Springs by William Kent Krueger
Middle-aged newlyweds, Cork O'Connor and Rainy Bisonette, leave the woods of Northern Minnesota behind after a garbled and frantic voicemail from Rainy's adult son, Peter. They head to the US/Mexico borderlands of Arizona and get caught in the complexities of the drug trade, border patrol, illegal immigration and an ex-spouse in the unforgiving and beautiful Sonoran desert.
