Family Literacy Day is Saturday, January 27th! We can\u2019t begin to express how important literacy is to everyone. Reading together allows families to connect and spend time doing something fun. Reading doesn\u2019t just have to be in the form of a book. It could be reading and following a cake recipe or reading the instructions to a new board game or reading directions on how to get to a new destination. Children who are read to become life-long readers.<\/p>\n

A great place to start is taking your kids to the Wawa Public Library! We have book displays, AWE Learning Computers and an Interactive Game Table to make a child\u2019s first visit to the library a memorable one! Come on in and check out your Wawa Public Library!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Books on the 7- Day Shelf this week are: \u201cThe Edge\u201d by David Baldacci, \u201cBetrayal\u201d by Phillip Margolin, \u201cThe Vaster Wilds\u201d by Lauren Groff, \u201cMy Name is Barbra\u201d by Barbra Streisand.<\/p>\n

En Fran\u00e7ais, nous avons \u201cUne Ex\u00e9cution\u201d par Danya Kukafka.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Staff Pick of the Week is “Holly\u201d by Stephen King. From the book jacket:<\/p>\n

Stephen King\u2019s Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly\u2019s gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr. Mercedes to Bill Hodges\u2019s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King\u2019s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.<\/em><\/p>\n

When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl\u2019s desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harboring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie\u2019s disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.<\/em><\/p>\n

Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.<\/em><\/p>\n
