New Books to enjoy while snuggled by the fire

 Adult


Scarlet Odyssey - C.T. Rwizi

Scarlet Odyssey - C.T. Rwizi
Although it is considered unmanly, Salo reads books and works in secret to awaken his latent magical powers, which allows him to defend his tribe when it is attacked by a cruel enchantress. His queen gratefully accepts his desire to be a mystic, but cannot allow him to stay, so he is sent on a quest to gather more information about the threat the sorceress poses -- which will lead him eventually to join other outcasts and discover how exactly his fate is entwined with the enchantress.


Deathless Divide, Book 2 of Dread Nation by Justina Ireland
Young Adult

Deathless Divide - Justina Ireland
The sequel to Dread Nation is a journey of revenge and salvation across a divided America.
After the fall of Summerland, Jane McKeene hoped her life would get simpler: Get out of town, stay alive, and head west to California to find her mother.
But nothing is easy when you're a girl trained in putting down the restless dead, and a devastating loss on the road to a protected village called Nicodermus has Jane questioning everything she thought she knew about surviving in 1880's America.

We've made it to December!

Thanksgiving Week Information!

 There are a lot of things going on this year that was unexpected. Rather than focus on that, let's focus on the positive!

Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are - Mason Cooley

We are thankful for our patrons. While the coming and going traffic may look a bit different than before, we are still seeing most of our community. And we are glad.

We are thankful that our community has helped us with reaching our patrons. We now have our online catalog and our website that is accessible. We could not have done that without donations and support.

We are thankful for our parents and grandparents that come in and not only get the Take and Make crafts for the kids, they also are encouraging the children to read. We are bias, but we feel that literacy is very important for all people.

We are thankful we have been able to continue adding books to our collection.

We are thankful that we celebrated our 11th anniversary this year.

Plenty to be thankful for!

What are you thankful for? Tell us in the comments!

This week (November 23-28) we are closed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday so that our staff and volunteers can catch up on their reading lists. (*wink*)

We can take reserve requests Monday and Tuesday for Wednesday pickup. (Have your library card and check out our online library cat.jwlwhitebluff.com)

We also have a few of the Take and Make crafts left.

Thanksgiving week hours of operation. We are closed November 26,27, & 28
