Did you know that while browsing our catalog from the comfort of your couch (see last week's post!), you can also discover read-alikes for your favorite books?

Simply search for a title, scroll down, and expand the "NoveList" section to find books with similar themes, characters, writing styles, and more.

Whether you're looking for another book like a favorite you've already finished or something to keep you occupied while waiting for a hold to arrive, NoveList can help you find your next great read! πŸ“š

Have you tried the NoveList recommendations in our catalog yet? Let us know what great discoveries you've made! πŸ‘‡πŸ“–

We are so thankful for our patrons and for all of the parents who value bringing their children to browse the collection, check out books, enjoy programs, and foster a love of reading.

Katie recently shared one of the many reasons her family values our library.

"The library has helped my kids grow in their independence. It is an invaluable third space for my kids, where they can come and explore their interests in an independent way that is really safe. They can go to programs, interact with librarians, and choose the books they want to read. I love that it provides that third space that is not school or home - just somewhere they can explore being themselves."

On today's episode of Library Adventures...

We got a special delivery of a turtle that was found trying to cross the road. And what does a librarian do when a turtle unexpectedly arrives at the library? Impromptu turtle storytime, of course!

We gathered in the activity room, pulled out a picture book, and young visitors (and staff) enjoyed time with our special shelled guest.

Sometimes the best library moments are the ones you never see coming. Safe to say this is a library visit we won't soon forget! πŸ’šπŸ’

Before joining our team as a General Library Clerk, Sydney was a familiar face at the library. She visited regularly to check out books, attend programs, and spend time in the space she came to love.

During her interview, Sydney shared that when she first moved to Danville, she worried about feeling lonely in a new community. But she quickly found a place where she belonged, right here at the library.

Today, she's helping create that same welcoming experience for others. We're so glad Sydney found her place at the library, and even happier she's now part of the library team.
