Summer’s almost here and for most people that live in this area it means traveling “down the shore” for weekends and week-long vacations. Vacations are a distant memory and goal for the future as summer reading will be here in a few weeks and I’ll be at work answering reference…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/7/16
This week I read Jackaby by William Ritter, which I absolutely LOVED! The book is described as a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Who – which I can definitely see. I loved the mix of mystery and fantastical elements and I’m really looking forward to the next in the series.…
