Dad Reads – Awesome Interactive Books For Tricky Topics

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Nick Armstrong in Library Blog, Library Services

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Library Staff in Library Blog, Library Services, News

It’s that time of year: resolutions, resolves and….reading? With the holiday blaze behind us, we’re all turning our sights on improvement.  Diet, decluttering, and self-betterment goals tend to get the bulk of the attention this time of year, but what about some resolutions that are a little more….well, fun!
