Organizing your child's home library
By Marti Fuerst, HMCPL Systems Librarian
When we are cooped up inside, many of us look at reorganizing our spaces. We often turn to shows like Tidying Up with Marie Kondo and Organize It, along with the books written by their stars, to help us face the chaos on our shelves and in our drawers.

TLWIAS Episode 16 - Book Club
Rob and Michelle read A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean for their first book club meeting.

It has revenge, twists, intrigue, a satisfying resolution to some past wrongdoings. And of course, kissing. Listen to a discussion about the book, what makes a romance a romance, and why the romance industry is a billion dollar sector of publishing.
