Terry's Library Staff Pick:
The Golem & The Jinni
  The Golem & the Jinni by Helene Wecker is a page-turning blend of fantasy and historical fiction set in turn-of-the-century Manhattan. The Jinni, a magical being of fire, finds the Golem, a creature made of mud, and the adventure begins. This book combines Jewish and Arabic folk mythology as the two characters innocently create mayhem in the world around them. The ending leaves the possibility of a sequel; I sure hope so.

Insider Librarian Tips . . . from Jennifer:
Did you know the library has a self check out? Many people prefer to check out their library selections themselves for a variety of reasons. To self check out, first scan your library card and then scan the item's LIBRARY barcode. Most common mistake? Scanning the wrong barcode (the library barcode will be located inside DVDs so you can easily make sure the disc is inside before checking out). Please ask us where to find the self check out.
