We're starting a new series called Book Snapshot! 📸 You'll get to hear from a different staff member each month about what book(s) they are eager to recommend.

Our director, Carissa, just finished Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, which she described as "a light, romantic fantasy that’s perfect for the fall season! The first two books of this series are filled with magic, witty banter, and quirky characters. If you’re up for a little mischief, chaotic workplace antics, and a villain who’s more lovable than expected, these books are for you."

Stay tuned for next month's book snapshot! 📸
