Have you filled out your 2020 Census yet?
"Census data are used to make decisions about how and where to spend more than $1.5 trillion each year for programs and services that communities rely on. Census data also drive federal funding allocations for libraries, including grants to states under the Library Services and Technology Act. The census population count is used to determine representation in Congress (known as reapportionment) and the Electoral College. Simply put, communities that are undercounted are disadvantaged economically and politically."-ALA.org

The Enola Holmes Mysteries
by Nancy Springer
She says, "Enola Holmes is the much younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes and, if you are a fan of Sherlock’s mysteries (or even if you’re not), you’ll love Enola’s adventures for young adults. Nancy Springer’s 14-year-old heroine is bright, clever, a master of disguise, and even outwits her older brother on occasion. In this six-book series, Enola’s mother disappears on Enola’s 14th birthday, and Enola begins a thrilling hunt to find her. There are secret messages to decipher, complicated disguises to devise, and intriguing London environments to delve into, and Enola will keep you informed of every aspect of her quest to locate her mother and solve other extraordinary situations that she runs into. It’s exciting, it’s informative, and it’s great fun."
