Cookin' up fun!
Coach Cook loves to make zines! What's a zine? It's a made-up publication that is specific to a certain subject. Coach Cook makes them up in the form of tiny books and we have hidden them in some of our popular books on display. Stop in and check something out today and see if you find one of his creations....keep the fun going by creating your own zine for us to add to our checkouts.

If you've been in a reading slump or noticed you haven't had the thrill of books since your elementary days, here is a great podcast to give you a little inspiration for a reading list. "One Great Book" is a short weekly podcast the is just a few minutes long. During your listening, you will hear all about one recommendation that Anne Bogel has as she tries to hook you! The series is great because it is short and her description doesn't include spoilers, but reveals just enough about the story or characters to intrigue you. Tune in today and make it a regular on your playlist. You are sure to find something great to read this Fall!
