Hi everyone, and welcome back! I'm sorry to say our journey is coming to an abrupt end; later this month I'll be starting a new job at a different local library, and there isn't another Millennial in residence to take over the newsletter after I leave. Though our time together was short, I hope these two issues have shown you that libraries are working to better serve patrons in their 20's and 30's. Don't give up on us! Check out books, ebooks, and e-audiobooks; use our study rooms and public spaces; visit our cafe; tell us what programs you want! On our end, I can tell you that the creation of this newsletter has sparked a wave across the library, where staff is now hyper-aware of all things Millennial. And it's not just us; Library Journal recently published a great article on how Millennials use libraries. And guess what? Despite assumptions that Millennials may be ruining libraries (like we do everything else), in fact, we read and use libraries more than older generations do. This probably isn't shocking news to you, but I'm hopeful that articles like this will keep the forward momentum going in regard to how libraries see patrons in their 20's and 30's. There's a lot of work to be done, but your continued engagement helps immeasurably. It has been so much fun conceptualizing this newsletter and making it a reality. Thank you for joining me, even if it was for a short while. Keep reading for some new book recommendations, and a bookish Horoscope for all the lovely Leos out there. Rachel

Bossypants
by Tina Fey
Leos are drawn to the limelight, and even if you aren't a performer yourself, you're likely fascinated by show business. Fey's chronicle of her experience in the biz has become a classic; it's light, fun, and has enough inside scoop to keep you hooked.

My Sister, the Serial Killer
by Oyinkan Braithwaite
A Leo will appreciate this comic tale of murder for the parody of their own character. . . the titular serial killer is likely what the uninformed think a Leo is at their worst: dazzling, charismatic, narcissistic, and probably crazy.
