Library magic is real… and sometimes it comes with fins. 🧜‍♂️🌊

For this month’s Date a Book, Matt dove into “A Ship of Bones and Teeth” by Karina Halle. One minute he was reading, the next he was immersed in waves and a dark fantasy retelling of The Little Mermaid.

And to the staff who checked on him while he was working from home half-mermaid… we appreciate you.
