Discover books, movies, and more - handpicked by library staff.

Staff Picks: Lisa K. - "There Will Come a Darkness"

For epic fans of Tolkien, George RR Martin, and epic fantasy-adventure lovers!

Staff Picks: Tamara - "Run Towards the Danger"

Polley expertly wove together threads in a way I've never experienced. I am blown away by her strength, determination and vulnerability.

Staff Picks: Annamarie - "Love on the Brain"

Sometimes you just want a book that is light, fun, and throws in a little bit of neuroengineering.

Staff Picks: Ashley H. - "A Flicker in the Dark"

This book is for those who love a good mystery that makes your heart beat faster and your hands sweat a little.

Staff Picks: Jim S. - "The Pioneers"

Ohio history begins with the first settlement in the 1780s--Marietta. A lively narrative from the writings of these little-known pioneers.

Staff Picks: Marie - "The Comfort Book"

Truly one of the most comforting, thoughtful, and uplifting books I have ever read. If you need a hug in book form, I highly recommend it!​

Staff Picks: Becky - "Women Holding Things"

This one sneaks up on you and gets deep. It's also about the boulders you carry in your dreams. I guess that's how life is, too.

Staff Picks: Leah - "One Life"

Megan is not only an Olympian but an activist and advocate for many critical issues. This book isn't just about soccer!

Staff Picks: Greg - "Dark Matter"

I read the back of the book and realized it was a style of Sci-Fi Thriller that I love - a fun book that never left me bored or confused.

Staff Picks: Miranda - "Under the Whispering Door"

Always down to dive into wonderfully queer, ingenious worlds of fantasy. This book brought a deep appreciation for the process of grieving.

Staff Picks: Annamarie- "Ship Wrecked"

Dade is a master of warm, feel-good romance - all starring a cast of a TV drama. It's a lovely adaptation of the friends-to-lovers trope.

Staff Picks: Lisa K. - "In the Lives of Puppets"

Mix Pinocchio with Wizard of Oz, robots, humor and philosophy, and you have this wonderful book!
