New Books!

We have new books! I have chosen to mark this event by making a homemade "new" symbol (pictured left) to accompany this entry. Please note that I am not an artist; I am a librarian.

While on the subject, I want to let you know that if you ever have suggestions for book titles, please jlewis [at] westportlibrary [dot] org (let me know) and I'll see what I can do!

Let's get down to business. Here is an overview of our new titles (please note that I have marked line breaks with miniature photos of Barry Manilow, to make this post even more festive):

The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven: A teen unites with two friends to break the spell of a cursed black tattoo that has appeared on his back.
