Wise, comforting, and uplifting, The Optimist's Guide to Divorce captures the experience of sisterhood through the voices of its authors and their community of women in the Maplewood Divorce Club. Stories, insights and valuable resources - and support.
We are so excited about all the new books arriving for our young ones. We have highlighted some below - and please use our 20% offer on the staff picks.
Mommy and Me Storytime with Ashley, Wednesdays, 10:30am, is back in the swing of things. So happy to see the young toddlers enjoying books and songs!
 Our Saturday Morning Author/Illustrator program is getting tweaked a bit. Please keep tuned as we announce our new visitors. In the meantime, we are excited about working with the Library on David Cundy's upcoming visit, February 5, 2pm, as he reads his new book Animals Spell Love, a celebration of kindness and diversity.
As always, Happy Reading!
