A middle grade retelling of The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, this book is a beautiful story of change and growing up, a haunting tale of a haunted house and what feels like a haunted body.
I tore through this book in 3 days. 5/5 ⭐️, will be recommending to all my patrons.

IMLS Update: Today, IMLS staff are being placed on administrative leave. It is unclear how FY2025 grants will be impacted - as of yet, there has been no official correspondence related to approved funding that has not been disbursed. Stay tuned – we will share updates as the news develops.

Gentle reminder to fight for your local libraries by calling your senators this week!!!
ALA President Cindy Hohl: "The American Library Association thanks the Senators for their long-standing support for IMLS and for acting on a conviction that the vast majority of Americans share: libraries are indispensable to their communities."
