Celebrate World Book Night

Tuesday, April 23rd is Shakespeare's birthday. Tuesday, April 23rd is World Book Night. 

Each year, 30 books are chosen by an independent panel of librarians and booksellers. The authors of the books waive their royalties, and the publishers agree to pay the costs of producing the specially-printed World Book Night U.S. editions. Bookstores and libraries sign up to be community host locations for the volunteer book givers. Twenty-five thousand volunteers will hand out free books to light and non-readers around their towns and across America.

Week of January 2, 2012

In BURIED SECRETS by Joseph Finder, Alexa Marcus, the teenage daughter of a billionaire hedge fund titan, is kidnapped, and it’s up to family friend and “private spy” Nick Heller --- a former intelligence operative trained in the Special Forces --- to find her…before time runs out.

Kristin Hannah's NIGHT ROAD follows Lexi Baill, a former foster child with a dark past who moves to the Farradays’ small town. Lexi becomes inseparably close with their family --- but one bad decision on a summer night during their senior year of high school will change everything.
