SERVICE UPDATE REMINDER:
AFTER SEPTEMBER 30, WE WILL NO LONGER OFFER HOOPLA. | — Why is the library discontinuing Hoopla?
We continually assess our collections to ensure we're providing the highest-quality materials for the best value for our patrons.
The library pays every time an item is checked out on Hoopla. As patron usage grows, so does our total spending. Hoopla’s business model is unsustainable and costly for rapidly growing public libraries like ours. |

"Ursula K. Le Guin, for the uninitiated, was one of the greatest science fiction and fantasy authors to take up the pen. She was a prolific author until the end of her life, and in her later years took up the practice of writing a blog. The best of that blog has been collected into this book and it is a truly delightful collection of observations, critiques and opinions. Le Guin is always generous, witty and so widely well-informed that reading, even her thoughts on things as banal as breakfast foods, feels

like receiving a masterclass on the matter. From the story of how her last cat (named, delightfully, Pard) came into her life to her incredibly profound observations on old age, this book is a treasure trove."
