We are resuming somewhat normal hours of 10 to 5 Mon to Sat and 11 to 3 Sundays. Only 10 people will be able to browse at a time to allow for social distancing, so please wait (patiently!) at the door. We will also require that customers wear a mask, per the Washburn County Health, CDC, and Wisconsin Economic Development guidelines--thanks for your cooperation!
Stay safe and sane (reading and knitting should help!).
We take great joy in picking out what we hope is an appealing selection of books. And we love making recommendations to customers. If only we had time to read them all!
Here are some of our recent staff favorites.
A good resource to keep next to your binoculars and learn about the behaviors of birds. Did you know a chickadee can stash thousands of seeds and remember where it stashed them?!

Another horrifying chapter in the treatment of Native Americans, about which I had never heard. Engaging and constructed as a good mystery.
Carol
This is the first of a trilogy that transports the reader to the time of horses & carriages and to the lives of women making their way in an unwelcoming business world. You'll hate to say goodbye to the well-developed characters.
Cindy
Because of the troubling story on which this novel is based, I probably wouldn't have read it if someone hadn't put it in my hands. What a powerful and beautiful read.
Carol & Eva
A fun take on Pride & Prejudice, set in the Muslim community in Toronto.
Carol
Absolutely fascinating. And puts our time on earth in perspective.
Carol
Beautiful writing...you'll find yourself wanting to share little nuggets with others.

I have so much going through my mind after finishing this book! The author imagines Jesus' life and gives voice to women during that time through Ana, the wife of Jesus.
