The CDC Library plays an important role in providing our public health professionals with access to the best information.
Without them, CDC employees will lose access to information and resources in an outbreak.

Many libraries have Friends of the Library organizations that work as fundraisers & advocates. Libraries are going to need more friends than ever, so be sure to join your local chapter.

Hello #LibFaves24! My first pick is AN INCONVENIENT WIFE by Karen E. Olson. A fun, modern take on the Tudors. Kate Parker's honeymoon with Hank Tudor is cut short by the discovery of a headless corpse. As she investigates, she tangles with two of Hank's exes.

If anyone needs some comfort reading in these troubled and troubling times, I suggest A Psalm for the Wild-Built, and its companion A Prayer for the Crown Shy, both by Becky Chambers. They are quiet, hopeful gems - life affirming, questioning and kind. Your heart needs a balm, and these will do.

Happy Friends of the Library week! Our Friends group had been coasting for years, didn't want to do anything, but didn't want to give up their positions. Finally got them to hold elections last May, and we have a new board with enthusiasm and ideas. Refreshing!
