Sorry we’ve been a little MIA — the librarian’s life has been busy lately 📚💛 But we appreciate everyone and our friends for keeping our little library so loved and booked.

We added 3 wonderful Stephen King novels tonight 👑📖

With rain coming this weekend and our roof acting more like a suspense novel than a roof ☔️😅 we’ll be removing the books tomorrow night and putting them back Monday. The library will also be temporarily removed next week for a quick repair and we promise it’ll be quicker than last time 😉
