Staff Selections

Fiction

Hombrecito by Santiago Jose Sanchez book cover.

Hombrecito

by Santiago Jose Sanchez

"A story about growing into who you are across a valley of trial and tribulations. With the author being the main character, this feels so grounded and like I'm looking through the veil into their life."

-- Chris, Library Specialist

Fiction

Home of the American Circus by Allison Larkin book cover.

Home of the American Circus

by Allison Larkin

"Larkin has quickly become one of my favorite authors! This is a tender, somber, yet heartwarming story about the people we choose to call family, what that can look like, and how to heal old wounds."

-- Ian, RSC/Bookmobile Driver

Fantasy, Science Fiction

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman book cover.

Dungeon Crawler Carl

by Matt Dinniman

"A man and his ex-girlfriend's cat traverse a dungeon created from a destroyed earth for the entertainment of the universe. If they win, they get to live. If the audience enjoys their escapades, they get prizes. Welcome to the end, it will be televised."

-- Emmi, Library Specialist

Self Help

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb book cover

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

by Lori Gottlieb

"I was so invested in the stories and the thoughts behind each chapter. It was a wonderful look into how so many different people beat themselves up over things that they already served their time for. An eye opening read."

-- Caitlyn, Custodian

Fiction

The Correspondent Book Cover by Virginia Evans

The Correspondent

by Virginia Evans

"A novel filled with the importance of connection, both familial and of the wider world. The protagonist is unforgettable, with a unique voice. I loved this seemingly simple book that has a depth that surprised and delighted me."

-- Amanda, Library Specialist

Fantasy, Juvenile Fiction

Claws by Mike and Rachel Grinti book cover.

Claws

by Mike and Rachel Grinti

"A favorite book from when I was a kid. Its mixture of a very grounded and grungy trailer park setting mixed with occult-tinged fantasy worldbuilding enraptured me, and stuck with me for years. It still influences my writing today."

-- Xander, Youth Services Specialist
