On Wednesday evening, the Wawa Public Library welcomed the 1st Wawa Scouts Cub group as they prepared to head to Cuboree in Temiskaming this weekend, where they\u2019ll join other Cubs for a fairytale-themed camp.<\/p>\n

What better place to get ready than the library\u2019s Makerspace, using the T-Shirt Press? The Scouts brought their own supplies and created these amazing T-shirts, which they designed themselves.<\/p>\n

We hope you have a wonderful trip, make lots of new friends, and have loads of fun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Staff Pick of the Week is\u00a0 <\/strong>\u201cShields of Sparrows\u201d by Devney Perry with a Goodreads rating of 4.38.<\/p>\n

Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros\u2014where enemies become lovers, monsters stalk a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the strength to tear off her crown and become the warrior she was never meant to be.<\/em><\/p>\n

The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent my life kneeling\u2014to their will and to my father\u2019s. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood.<\/em><\/p>\n

But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father\u2019s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him\u2014bound to a future I didn\u2019t choose and a husband I barely know.<\/em><\/p>\n

Everyone wants me to be something I\u2019m not\u2014a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.<\/em><\/p>\n

But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there\u2019s power in being underestimated?<\/em><\/p>\n

And what if\u2014for the first time\u2014I reached for it?<\/em><\/p>\n
