If you like Elizabeth Strout’s
books (Olive Kitteridge,
My Name is Lucy Barton,
Abide with Me),
you might also enjoy
Lauren Acamporo’s
The Wonder Garden.
Like Strout, Acamporo’s short
stories brim with people and towns and an
off-kilter domesticity that may feel uncomfortably
familiar.

If you like John Green’s
books (Paper Towns,
The Fault in Our Stars),
you might want to try books
by Rainbow Rowell
(Eleanor and Park, Fangirl).
Both authors focus on
real-life— with all of its hope
and happiness and trauma. And both fill their stories
with characters who feel like old friends, or people
with whom you want to make friends.

As we begin the first full month of spring, we also begin a month of
celebrations! Each April we celebrate poetry, volunteers, and libraries.
To celebrate National Poetry Month, we continue the yearly tradition of
hosting community member Bob Clark’s poetry (see page 1). Stop in and
see what he put together this year.
Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 23rd-29th. In 2016, volunteers supported the library in many
ways, from shelving books to packing our Minerva books for delivery. Our dedicated volunteers provided
over 1000 hours last year to help keep the library running. We couldn’t do it without them, and this
month we honor all our wonderful volunteers with a big “THANK YOU!”
National Library Week, April 9th-15th, has been observed
since 1958. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our
nation's libraries and librarians, and to promote library use and
support. On Tuesday of National Library Week (April 11th this
year) we observe National Library Workers Day. Library staff
members make valuable contributions to the community and this day is recognition for their hard work. Visit
the library and thank your library staff members!
Finally, check out the last page of this newsletter for our new printed calendar of events or
see our calendar online. We have something for everyone. Join us!
