Christmas Time Is Here 🎶………..
Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying this holiday season thus far. The weather has that bracing feel, colorful lights are everywhere and holiday goodies are tempting me at every turn…ah, how wonderful. This is also that time of year when curling up with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book or DVD makes the season complete. Here at your Community Library we have just what you need, and they are Santa-approved!

Books
The Midnight Line
​Lee Child’s latest Jack Reacher novel is a powerhouse of a thriller. Reacher takes a stroll through a small Wisconsin town and sees a class ring in a pawn shop: West Point 2005. A tough year to graduate: Iraq, then Afghanistan. The ring is for a woman with her initials engraved inside. Reacher decides to find the woman and return her ring, and discover why she gave up the ring. The deeper he digs, and the more he learns, the more dangerous the terrain becomes. Turns out the ring was just a small link in a far darker chain.

The Rooster Bar
John Grisham’s newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that’s on shaky ground. Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. Maybe there’s a way out—but they would first have to quit law school. Crazy, right? Pull up a stool, grab a cold one, and get ready spend some time at the Rooster Bar.

Turtles All The Way Down
In his long-awaited return, John Green, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars, shares Aza’s story with shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.
