The RUC Library Book Fair starts at 11 - who's coming?

The RUC Library Book Fair kicks off tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16! You can come to the RUC Library then or on Wednesday, June 17, between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and shop our selections. You'll get your RUC Library bucks when you sign in. All you have to do is decide how to spend them.

We've read 86 books so far this Summer, putting us well past 25% of our 300 book goal. This week also saw our first repeats - Ilona Andrews's This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, Caro Claire Burke's Yesteryear, and Ashley Ellston's Anatomy of an Alibi all made their second appearances on the list. You can add to the total by replying to this post with the title and author of any book you've read this Summer in any format, or by turning in your book in the fishbowl in the RUC Library. We only need 14 more books to hit triple digits!

A preview of some of the things we'll have for sale at the RUC Library Book Fair this Tuesday and Wednesday, June 16 and 17, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day. What are you planning to spend your 10 RUC Library Bucks on?

This week's staff pick is Syou Ishida's delightful We'll Prescribe You a Cat, a whimsical and moving look at the relationship between animals and their humans that prove cats are always the purrfect cure. Translated from Japanese by E. Madison Shimoda.

It's , so our LEGO librarian just had to pop in and say hello. Since 2024, this United Nations-recognized day is all about the positive impact of play and every child's right to play. How will you be celebrating?
