It's Staff Pick Saturday! This week Programming Librarian and Volunteer Coordinator Sarah recommends Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. She gives this title 5/5 stars!

"I've always been a fan of faerie folklore. This is the first in a series about a persnickety professor who travels to remote places to document faerie folklore. It's got unique characters, a bit of slow burn romance and of course, lots of faeries! If you have a chance, try the audiobook. You'll love the way Emily huffs her rival Wendell Bambleby's name." 🧚‍♂️📚

You can place a hold on this title by visiting our website at monterey.gov/library!

Our bilingual storytime last week was extra special as we celebrated the release of our painted lady butterflies. We loved watching these little creatures grow at the library, from tiny caterpillars to chrysalises and finally to butterflies. What better way to celebrate than with stories, songs, and a release party?
¡Hasta pronto, mariposas! 🦋✨📚
