We're excited to announce our second annual Greece Reads event! Each year, our librarians select a book that we encourage the community to read and discuss together. In March, we will host the author in a live Zoom session where we'll get the chance to chat with them, and hold a Q&A. Starting this week, we will be releasing one clue about the author's identity each Friday for the next 4 weeks. You will receive a total of 4 clues that you can piece together to discover their i...dentity. The first person to guess correctly will win a copy of the book, so guessing early isn't a bad idea! Each week, the clues will get more specific, so don't worry if this one has you scratching your head. If you want to guess, drop it below. **You may guess once every week, but only one guess per person, per week please!**

Have you heard?! Miracle Creek, our 2021 Greece Reads selection, is available on Hoopla as an audiobook! You can listen to it RIGHT NOW! Never any wait times on Hoopla... that’s why we love it. Listen to it and don’t forget to register for our author visit AND our Big Book Discussion, both in March. https://www.greecepubliclibrary.org/rea/digital-collections

Registration is now open for our Greece Reads author visit with Angie Kim! We have a special incentive for you too: the first 10 people who register will win their own copy of the book! Angie will also send you a personalized book plate. This event will take place live via Zoom. We can't wait! Contest details: the 10 winners will be notified by the end of this week. We do kindly ask that you only register if you plan on attending, and not simply to win the book (although we know it is a very cool prize!). More chances to win will be announced later! http://greecepubliclibrary.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails

Our Friends volunteers are also thrilled to welcome you back into the used bookstore: Secondhand Prose. As always, we ask that you keep social distancing in mind as you browse for your next treasure. ... So... what do you think of our new look?
