Maplewood Public Library will be opening later tomorrow, Wednesday, November 17, for staff training. The Library catalog and MLC app will also be down for part of the day on Wednesday for scheduled maintenance. Patrons should still be able to access Hoopla, Libby, and OverDrive.
Library Assistant Anne recently read Stray: A Memoir by @smdanler. The storytelling in Stray is so beautiful that the reader gets completely drawn in as Stephanie struggles to maintain relationships with her separated parents while also falling into her own destructive patterns.

Charlene really enjoyed this unique coming-of-age novel and plans to read the other books in the series. You can request The Hazel Wood at maplewoodpubliclibrary.org. Meanwhile, let us know what you’re reading. #whatareyoureading #whatareyoureadingwednesday #bookrecommendation (3/3)
Alice has never visited the Hazel Wood, met her grandmother, or even read the book that made her grandmother famous because her mother, Ella, forbids it. But then Ella is kidnapped and Alice must return to their shared roots at the Hazel Wood to have any hope of finding her.(2/3)
Charlene just finished The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert. The Hazel Wood is the mysterious estate of Althea Proserpine, author of Tales from the Hinterland, a collection of chronicles so dark that they make the original Grimm stories sound like, well, fairy tales. (1/3)
