Need a quick read for the upcoming weekend? The library has these books and more New Releases! ✨

🚗 Road Trip: A Novel by Mary Kay Andrews:
Maeve and Therese Dunigan are sisters—but the two have been estranged for years. But when their mother's death brings the family back together, the two find that they have inherited a painting—one that could be worth millions. The only issue is, the painting might be a fake and the only way they can solve the problem is to find the original. Can Maeve and Therese find the real painting, remove a family curse, solve a cold case, and actually survive without killing each other?

🔥 Cold Fire (The NUMA Files Series, Bk. 22) by Clive Cussler contributing writer: Graham Brown:
In the frigid air high above the Arctic Ocean American C-17 successfully shoots down a ballistic missile nearly four hundred miles away. Before the celebration can even begin, the aircraft goes dark, vanishing off radar and disappearing into mist. As the details emerge it becomes obvious that the aircraft has been hijacked. An odd signal suggests it crashed into the Arctic Ocean halfway between Norway and the North Pole. With the rules of engagement suspended and lives hanging in the balance, Kurt and the NUMA special projects team pull on the threads connecting the mystery only to discover the great nations of the world being manipulated by a single man with a deadly plan of revenge.

⛴ Deep Water (Stone Barrington Series, Bk. 67) by Stuart Woods contributing writer: Brett Battles:
When Stone Barrington meets one of his clients, Trenton Sidney, for a sunset drink on Trenton’s new yacht, the last thing he expects is to be a victim of a shipwreck. As one of the four survivors of the incident but with little memory of the sinking, Stone finds himself diving straight back into work. When new evidence that points to foul play comes to light, Stone must probe the tragedy in more ways than one in order to uncover the identity of the perpetrator . . . before they find another lethal way to get themselves out of deep water.

Have you been enjoying the rainy days of June? These are great days to read a New Release large print book! ☔

🌧 The Rainy Day Bookshop by RaeAnne Thayne: 🌂
Sandwiched between caring for her mother and rebuilding the relationship with her estranged daughter, Emma, Rosie Lucas’s life is full. In the best way. With Emma and her 3-year old daughter, Olive, back home, Rosie has a partner for The Rainy Day Bookshop, the family business, and a chance to fix the past. What she doesn’t have time for is a romantic relationship. And even if she did, Andrew Morgan is the last person she’d choose. Not only is he an arrogant and reclusive writer, but he’s a single dad with two young kids. She’s already been there, done that. Still as an irresistible flirtation builds between them, he becomes her unexpected confidante on the distance Rosie can’t seem to overcome with Emma, a secret she can’t quite unravel…
Emma isn’t proud of her past. But she’s pulled herself up by the bootstraps, caring for her own daughter, and protecting her mom at all costs. Just as she always has. She never told Rosie what she saw all those years ago and she never will. But some secrets refuse to stay buried, and sometimes the truth is more shocking than fiction. Rosie and Emma will have to navigate an unimaginable path forward. Together.

The much-anticipated arrival of this New Release picture book for children has made it to the Library! 📖

🐕 The Chase by Jenny Bloomfield:
"Are you ready? Are you steady? FETCH!" A girl on a beach throws a ball for one eager little dog. Suddenly one dog becomes two—three—TEN leaping, bounding doggies, hot on its trail! The chase is on: who will be the lucky pup to fetch the bright red prize?
The race leads them down the beach, through the city, into the museum; high up over the city balanced on an iron girder; through the park down the river, until: what’s that rumbling sound? Oh dear! But not even a thundering waterfall will stop these determined dogs from chasing down that ball…
An utter joy from beginning to end, this book combines the charm—and an adorable canine crew—of Hairy Maclary with the infectious rhythm and energy of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.
