The Librarians Recommend -
August, 2025
Welcome to The Librarians Recommend, the newsletter where we, the people who recommend books for a living, bring you our picks for the most anticipated or relevant titles coming out each month.  
 
So sit back and relax while we help you find that book you didn't know you were looking for...

"Keep reading.
It's one of the most marvelous adventures anyone can have."
~ Lloyd Alexander

Friendship
August is a great time to celebrate friendships!
 
Friends that have been there for us through thick and thin deserve to be recognized and thanked. As the first Sunday in August is National Friendship Day and the third Sunday is Women’s Friendship Day, take some time this month to appreciate those people who have opened up new worlds in us.
