Wawa-news.com You can't hear the 'big picture'!
Come on in! Masks must be worn covering mouth, nose and chin. Everyone must sanitize their hands before entering the library. Patrons are free to browse the collections without time limits and computer use is available. Social distancing must be respected. Be smart, stay six feet apart!! All returned materials must be placed in the Drop Box for quarantine. We ask that if you are not feeling well, to NOT come into the library. For those who can’t wear masks or for whatever reason cannot comply with AHU recommended measures, we are happy to continue curbside pickup!
All library materials go through a sanitization process before they are checked out to the public. When materials are returned through the Book Drop, we are using gloves to handle items and then place them in a box for a minimum of 72 hours. After 72 hours, the materials are removed, checked in and wiped down with 70% alcohol solution, filed back into the collection and ready to be checked out again!
New books on the 7- Day Shelf this week are: “Unfinished Business” by J.A. Jance, “Golden Girl” by Elin Hilderbrand, “Malibu Rising” by Taylor Jenkins Reid and “The President’s Daughter” by Bill Clinton and James Patterson.

STAFF PICK OF THE WEEK IS “After the End” by Clare MacKintosh.
(book jacket)
Max and Pip are the strongest couple you know. They’re best friends, lovers—unshakable. But then their son gets sick and the doctors put the question of his survival into their hands. For the first time, Max and Pip can’t agree. They each want a different future for their son.
What if they could have both?
A gripping and propulsive exploration of love, marriage, parenthood, and the road not taken, After the End brings one unforgettable family from unimaginable loss to a surprising, satisfying, and redemptive ending and the life they are fated to find. With the emotional power of Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper, Mackintosh helps us to see that sometimes the end is just another beginning.
