Are you ready for some Fun Summer Reading with Cannell Library?
Summer is here, which means it is time to go to the beach or a park (or an air conditioned home), crack open a book, and get lost in a (hopefully slightly colder) world. Come by the library this Summer and check out our Leisure Reading Collection, full of romance, action, mystery, and horror to get you back on the pleasure reading grind. Take a look at some of the books we have to offer at the library, and check out our Leisure Reading Collection online for even more fun-in-the-sun reads!

- Catch up on your romantasy with A Court of Mist and Fury and A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas (you can request the first one from one of our partner libraries)
