All library materials go through a sanitization process before they are checked out to the public. When materials are returned through the Book Drop, they are placed in a box for quarantine for a minimum of 72 hours. Staff is using gloves and masks when handling returned materials. After 72 hours, the material is checked in and wiped down with 70% alcohol solution.\u00a0 Materials are then filed back into the collection and are ready to be checked out again.\u00a0 This procedure is following the guidelines set by Ontario Library Services-North, Southern Ontario Library Services and the Algoma Public Health.<\/p>\n

(from book jacket)<\/p>\n Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn\u2019t spoken one word to Drue in all this time\u2014she doesn\u2019t even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media\u2014so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless.<\/p>\n Drue was always the one who had everything\u2014except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne\u2019s no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She\u2019s built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend\u2019s siren song.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LIBBY:\u00a0 <\/strong>Don\u2019t forget that your library card gives you access to a huge selection of e-books and audiobooks.\u00a0 Download the app to your computer, tablet or mobile phone and open up a whole new world of reading.\u00a0 With the Libby app you always have a book at your fingertips and it is FREE!\u00a0 Download it today!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WAWA PUBLIC LIBRARY AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS:\u00a0 <\/strong>Indiana is here to provide everyone with an awesome After School Program.\u00a0 Check out our facebook page @wplafterschool to find out what is going on!
