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 inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books for children that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

Hardy Boys Clue Book: Bug-Napped!

But when Joe goes to get Izumi the next morning, he discovers that his lucky friend isn’t so lucky after all because Izumi has gone missing! Did Aki’s pet get bug-napped? Can the brothers find this bug before the weekend is over? It’s up to Frank and Joe—and you—to solve the mystery of the missing beetle! For ages 6-9.

The Super Secret Octagon Valley Society

After passing an intense exam, Edwin Edgefield becomes one of the lucky few to attend an exclusive weekend at the mysterious high-tech institute of the uber-famous-ultrabazillionaire-genius-recluse Onasander Octagon. Edwin hopes he’ll meet other kids like him—kids who will accept him even though he’s got a photographic memory, genius-level math skills, and some very specific personality quirks. But when he meets the other misfits (um, students), he starts to wonder if they’re all in the right place. Surviving Octagon Valley may require these outcasts to embrace their inner weird and become greater together than they ever could separately. For ages 8-12.
