New & Upcoming Books
Being part of a large Library consortium has its advantages because we have access to so much more than our individual collection!
When it comes to recently released items, however, you must place a hold on the title in order to be one of the first to get these materials.  
Although a new item may technically belong to us, we are required to send it to fill any hold requests within the library system.  
Included below are some of the upcoming new releases click on the title or book cover to place a hold.
 
The Secret of Secrets

Sisters in the Wind
by Angeline Boulley

Ever since Lucy Smith’s father died five years ago, “home” has been more of an idea than a place. She knows being on the run is better than anything waiting for her as a “ward of the state.” But when the sharp-eyed and kind Mr. Jameson with an interest in her case comes looking for her, Lucy wonders if hiding from her past will ever truly keep her safe.

Five years in the foster system has taught her to be cautious and smart. But she wants to believe Mr. Jameson and his “friend-not-friend,” a tall and fierce-looking woman who say they want to look after her.

They also tell Lucy the truth her father hid from her: She is Ojibwe; she has – had – a sister, and more siblings; a grandmother who’d look after her and a home where she would be loved.

But Lucy is being followed. The past has destroyed any chance of normal she has had, and now the secrets she’s hiding will swallow her whole and take away the future she always dreamed of.
Anne dreams
by K. George

After accidentally dying her hair green, Anne starts focusing on improving herself inside and pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher but must overcome her fear of failing and stop being distracted by pesky Gilbert. 
Miya Wears Orange
by Wanda John-kehewin

Miya loves her school and she especially loves storytime. One day, her teacher shares a story about a little girl who was taken away to a residential school. The little girl wasn’t allowed to go home. Her hair was cut and she wasn’t allowed to keep her favourite doll. She was taken away from her family because she was Indigenous, just like Miya!
Miya worries the same thing will happen to her. Her mom tells her that Indigenous girls and boys aren’t forced to leave their families anymore. Miya is relieved, but she is still sad. What can she do about these feelings?
