If you’re a fan of all things horror, like our Harry Bennett Branch Adult Services Librarian Noel, then The Only Good Indians is an instant add to your TBR list. Noel recommends Stephen Graham Jones’ chilling novel for its indigenous lore and intergenerational storytelling.

For Stephen King fans, we recommend kicking off tour spooky season reading with this new release.

You can find it on our shelf at Harry Bennett Branch. Happy reading! 🦌👻

25 years later, one of the most powerful firsthand documentaries of 9/11 comes to the Ferguson Library.

Filmmaker Jules Naudet will screen 9/11, the landmark 2002 documentary he co-directed with his brother, Gédéon. The brothers were filming with New York City firefighters when the attacks unfolded, and Jules captured some of the only known footage of American Airlines Flight 11 striking the North Tower.

Join us for this special 25th anniversary program and an opportunity to hear directly from Jules about his experience documenting one of the defining moments in American history.

Today, we remember Dolly Parton, not only as a legendary musician and entertainer, but as a lifelong champion of childhood literacy.

Through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, she helped put more than 332 million books into the hands of children around the world, creating a lasting legacy for literacy and a love of reading.

In her memory, we’ve put together a special Dolly Parton display at the Main Library featuring her music, books for adults and young readers, and books about her remarkable life and career.

If you wish to support the Imagination Library, head to imaginationlibrary.com.

Dolly, we’ll always love you. 🦋
