The 2013 Summer Reading Program has begun

We are fairly certain you have some pretty awesome summer plans. We are completely certain that those plans could be enhanced by participating in this year's summer reading program.

So, really, it's in your best interest to check-out our Summer Reading Program page for Teens. Found there are details about how to participate, book suggestions having to do with this year's theme (some of our favorite titles; Burger Wuss, Killer Pizza, and Soul Enchilada), what you can win (spoiler: a KINDLE FIRE**), and the activities we are planning (free stuff!).

Check it out! And if you have any additional book suggestions, or read a book you want to tell the world about, we really enjoy getting your book reviews.

Have a great summer and hope to see you around at the library,

FCPL

Under Shifting Glass by Nicky Singer

Jess has a secret: a mysterious glass flask she finds in an heirloom desk's hidden compartment. Its surface swirls with iridescent colors, like something's inside, something almost like a song, something with a soul. No one else sees anything under the shifting glass, but Jess is convinced there must be some kind of magic in there. And when her twin brothers are born critically ill, Jess begins to believe that the force within the flask just might hold the key to saving her brothers-and her family. 

In this emotionally rich novel, award-winning author Nicky Singer crafts a world of possibility that is steeped in hope and the power of love.

Congrats to Ariel! Your book is on its way.
