This month's pick is Real Friends by Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham. 

Synopsis: Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen's #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top . . . even if it means bullying others. Now every day is like a roller coaster for Shannon. Will she and Adrienne stay friends? Can she stand up for herself? And is she in The Group―or out? (from publisher)

The Library and Girl Scout Troop 10309 are teaming up to host a Repair Café on Saturday, October 4, and we need your help. We are looking for volunteers ages 16 and older to support this community event where neighbors bring in broken or worn items like clothing, small appliances, bikes, and lamps for free repairs instead of throwing them away. Volunteers will greet and assist visitors, manage registration, help with setup and cleanup, and keep the event running smoothly. It is a great way to gain experience, meet people, and support a greener Hoboken.
