New ebooks!

Check out the library's new ebooks at http://amlcrh.axis360.baker-taylor.com/.



 "Fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell, and Sharon Flake will find much love in [Don't Fail Me Now]" -School Library Journal



"Interracial half-siblings come together for the first time and embark on a cross-country road trip to confront their absentee father before he dies." -From the Publisher






"Original and sobering, Adelina is an antihero of nigh-unremitting darkness: an unusual young woman in the mold and such archetypes as Lucifer, Macbeth, and Darth Vader." -Kirkus Reviews 




  • "Adelina Amouteru's heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers who nearly killed her. But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?" -From the Publisher

New in the Paperback Section!

The library has some new books in the paperback section of the library.  Stop by before the long weekend to check out something to read!




Stand Off by Andrew Smith
(Sequel to Winger)

"Smith has created a consistently interesting character whose singular sense of humor grows on readers.  Plus, he nails the rough-and-tumble sport of rugby.  This sequel won't disappoint fans." -Booklist








Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story by David Levithan

(A Companion book to Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan)


"Tiny will have readers falling out of their chairs laughing." -Kirkus








Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen

"Saint Anything is a poignant, honest story about how we might suffer the misfortune of someone else's bad choices, how people who love us can become family when we desperately need it, and how starting over might - miraculously - mean taking a solid leap forward.  Is there anyone who can write about what matters most to teens as well as Dessen can?  I sincerely doubt it." -Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling novelist of Leaving Time and My Sister's Keeper








Nimona by Noelle Stevenson


"Nimona...is beautifully flawed and refreshingly unstereotypical in a book that is both darkly witty and surprisingly touching.  And Nimona is a protagonist to both love and fear." -The Horn Book

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
99 Days by Katie Cotugno
This Book is Gay by James Dawson
