School is out for the semester and summer is on its way here. Summer is the perfect time to get in some non-school or school-related reading. So, we asked the library staff what’s on their summer ‘to be read’ list. Let us know what is on your summer reading list or check out one of these recommendations:
Melissa Moore, Library Director, will be finishing a re-reading of the Harry Potter series, Beloved by Toni Morrison, and Homecoming by Kate Morton.
Amber Wessies, Instruction Librarian, is finishing Marriage Builder by Larry Crabb and In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson. She also wants to read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
Rachel Bloomingburg, Circulation Manager, said: “I’m thinking of reading The Wizard of Oz and Murder on the Orient Express. I guess you could say I was inspired by March Book Madness. It’s one you would have to get as Interlibrary Loan, but I think The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry would be a great summer book.”
Darius Mullin, Evening Circulation Supervisor, might read A Place on Earth by Wendell Berry, William Shakespeare’s The Clone Army Attacketh by Ian Doescher, and The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World by Oliver Milman.
Micah Rhodes, Cataloging Associate, plans to continue reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.
Sarah Blevins, Evening Circulation Associate, might re-read the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J. R. R. Tolkien.
Sara Hand, Cataloging Associate and Administrative Assistant, plans to read Cursed by Marissa Meyer, Loving Our Kids on Purpose by Danny Silk, and Praying the Scriptures for Your Children by Jodie Berndt. (All of these can be requested through Interlibrary Loan).
Beth Lynn, Collection Development Coordinator, plans to read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Shaffer and Annie Barrows.
