It’s that time again. You’ve read everything in your house, and even the old favorites seem tired. You’re craving something new to read, but who can you turn to for counsel? A trusted friend? A beloved family member? The New York Times? It needs to be someone who cares about books, that’s for sure. And who cares more than the friendly team at your local library? That’s why we’ve compiled a collection of staff recommendations; just a few suggestions from one group of literacy lovers to another.

Adopt-A-Book for the Holidays
Looking for a unique gift? Consider the Upper Perkiomen Valley Library’s Adopt-A-Book program. For $25 you can request a new book be purchased in honor of your family member or friend. Consider a nature book for the fisherman on your list or a cookbook for your favorite chef. Children’s books are always a generous way to thank a teacher. You pick the category, we pick the title. A bookplate with the recipient’s name will be placed in the book before it goes in the public collection. Adopt-A-Book is also a gift to the library that can benefit the community for years to come.
