Library Reads is a new website that highlights top books selected by librarians across the country. Here are a few of their selections: How the Light Gets In by Louise Penny - the newest Chief Inspector Armand Gamache story. One book that is on my to be read list (I actually have it checked out right now) is The Returned by Jason Mott. It's the story of people coming back from the dead and being 'returned' to their loved ones and how it is handled by families, communities and the government. It is supposed to be a perfect book group selection which is why it's on my must read list. Another book that is on Library Reads list is Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink. A story of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina. This book comes out September 10th. Library Reads will come out with a new list each month. If you would like to see more reading ideas be sure to check out the Library's Reading Ideas webpage! SG
