Get Staff Picks Online!
Our staff is anxious to provide recommendations to you whether you are visiting the library or sitting at home in your comfy chair. For this reason, we are now publishing a Staff Picks blog. We're going to chat about the books, movies and music that we love, whether they are hot and new or simply old favorites.
Because this is a blog, you are welcome to join the conversation as well! At the bottom of each post is an option to leave comments. Do you agree with us? Disagree with us? Can you recommend any similar books? Go ahead and leave a comment under our post.
You can visit our Staff Picks blog at http://glencoelibrarypicks.blogspot.com/ or you can view the latest pick on our homepage. You can even subscribe to our Staff Picks blog so that you receive picks by email. We hope you find this useful AND a lot of fun!
