A monthly update from the Friends of Shorewood Public Library
Love of library and community motivates the Friends of Shorewood Library... When we think about the mission and vision of the Friends of the Shorewood Library, we can be pretty straightforward: 1. The mission of the Friends of the Shorewood Library is to provide financial and volunteer support to the library. 2. Our vision is that the library will be a vital and essential part of village life. But how do we describe the passion that the Friends feel for the library - a commitment that drives hours of volunteer work in pursuit of these goals? Whether it is organizing the book sales, coordinating the membership program, helping with an author event, adopting a library shelf or attending meetings, Friends contribute in many ways because of our commitment to the library. We are lucky to live in a place that values reading, education, community and dialog. If you love the library, we invite you to join us as a volunteer, contributor or board member. Contact the Friends with questions, or to volunteer, at: [email protected].

Emily recommends this offbeat fictionalization of a pivotal moment in the life of John Lennon. It's wild and dreamlike, and fans will hear Lennon's later music interwoven throughout.

Kate recommends this
first novel in a fun new fantasy series full of airships, etheric crystals, and complex, compelling characters.

The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
Eddie recommends
the first in a trilogy by Liu Cixin. While science fiction is not typically popular in China, this book is massively successful, with a movie adaptation in the works.
