The Macedon Public Library is fully open for in-person visits. Computers are available and the Discovery Room is also open. Masks are strongly encouraged for all patrons, even if you have been vaccinated. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet outside the library.
Here are a few of the new books that have come in to the library recently. We invite you to check them out!
Sister Mother Warrior
Vanessa Riley brings readers a vivid, sweeping novel of the Haitian Revolution based on the true-life stories of two extraordinary women: the first Empress of Haiti, Marie-Claire Bonheur, and Gran Toya, a West African-born warrior who helped lead the rebellion that drove out the French and freed the enslaved people of Haiti. Born in West Africa, Abdaraya Toya was one of the specially chosen female warriors consecrated to the King of Dahomey. A free woman of color, Marie-Claire Bonheur was raised in an air of privilege and security because of her wealthy white grandfather. When war breaks out, Marie-Claire and Toya finally meet, and play pivotal roles in the revolution that will eventually lead to full independence for Haiti and its people.
