This month is Reader's Choice for Lit Chat.  PJ and Bonnie share their reads over the last few weeks, though they both took turns in historical fiction -- or history that turned out to be false!  You can also join PJ and Bonnie for Lit Chat in person on the second Thursday of each month at 1 pm.

Books:

The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec

Lies my teacher told me : everything American history textbooks get wrong by James W. Loewen ; adapted by Rebecca Stefoff

Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell

PJ and Bonnie share the journey through historical deaths in How They Croaked: the awful ends of the awfully famous by Georgia Bragg.  A touch grim, a little gory, they learned all about the falls of glory.

Join Darla and Daniel as they help you prepare for Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday, April 23-25.  April 14 is also Purple Up day in support of the Military Child.  Learn more about what's going on at the library, including the temporary closure from April 11-24.
