  • Lost in Translation: Current Reads  

    I hope you all are reading more manga! I thought I would update the blog with some things I’ve recently read and upcoming titles coming to our collection soon. If you’re looking for a different pace from Shōnen manga but still want the high fantasy action/adventure setting, try reading Solo Leveling.  This story follows Korean…

  • Classic Mysteries: Miss Marple

    I have something to admit. When I first started reading Agatha Christie mysteries as a teen, I didn’t like Miss Marple. It wasn’t surprising, perhaps. I was young and thought she was slow and nosy and I just couldn’t relate to her quiet village life. What a difference a few decades make. I now own…

  • A Play-Based Library?

    “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play IS serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood,” Mr. (Fred) Rogers.

  • Beach Reads

    One of the best things about living in Connecticut is living near enough to so many beaches within an hour’s drive. As a child of the Midwest, I’m perpetually amazed by all the things we can do while living in our tiny state. We can reach both New York City and Boston within two hours.…
