Explore the stories that shaped our community and the library’s role in its growth. As Lexington County transformed from its rural roots into a thriving suburban hub, the library became a vital pillar of the community.

“The adopted daughter of Death and Fortune is a thief, and her latest heist angered the wrong forest deity. Now she must team up with a too-smart junior detective, a shapeshifter and a princess who hates her to make up for her crimes, evade the law and bring down an evil nobleman before a curse turns her to stone. Full of witty banter and steeped in Germanic folklore, this is one found family you do not want to miss.”
