WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn a New Page



We did it, WooReaders! We finished the WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn a New Page. As a community, we read thousands of books, attended virtual programs, and stayed connected through our love of the library. Even though this challenge is over, we have summer reading to look forward to! From June 7- August 14, we'll celebrate our theme of "Tails and Tales" with animal-themed activities and events. Visit mywpl.org to register for book clubs, art programs, and more! Join us on Saturday, June 12 from 11am -1pm for our Summer Reading Kickoff at the Main Library where you can register for summer reading, pick up some library swag, and bring home a Take and Make animal-themed craft for adults. See you in the summer!


King and Maxwell by David Baldacci 

King & Maxwell find a young teen with a gun racing in the rain and decide to help him. A lot of dangerous twists and turns. Good read! ~ Karen S.






I was intrigued by the book's synopsis-a black babysitter is wrongfully accused of kidnapping her charge, and the altercation is videotaped. However, I felt it's ebb and flow was disjointed, the dialogue was often ridiculous, and the microaggressions weren't addressed to propel any real conversations about race/racism between characters. 2 out of 5 stars. ~ Mary T.




A woman finds purpose when assisting a young girl about to become a mother. Good read! ~ Kathryn K.



Wonderful, wonderful book! Loved Sanctus and book two is just as amazing! Cannot wait to start The Tower, the 3rd book in the Ruin series. ~ Miriam V.
