.@GrCalLibrary librarian Beth recommends Lark Ascending by Silas House for a poignant, #dystopian (yet eerily recognizable) read. Check out her review: bit.ly/3AeFy6E #BookRecommendations
The book cover shows a waterfall lit by rainbow lights falling between rocks. The sky is red with fire or sunset. Text reads No one ever thought it could happen here, but we were overestimating human beings. LCPL recommends

If you're looking for a sweet, often hilarious, romantic summer read, @GrCalLibrary librarian Beth recommends Book Lovers by Emily Henry! Check out her review: lakecountylibrary.tumblr.com… #BookRecommendation #Romance #SummerReading
Typewritten sheet next to the book cover gives the title and author. Genre is contemporary romance, notes indicate the book is sweet and often hilarious. The book cover shows two people sitting on suitcases back to back, each reading a book with one hand, the one on the left handing a book back to the one on the right.
