Dorothy said “There’s no place like home.” We agree. Here is a list of titles about those searching for home, discovering home, loving home, trying to get home, or just trying to make home a little bit homier.

The Sherwood Public Library staff have a lot of love to share!
|
The Sherwood Public Library began in 1935 as a dedicated shelf of books in the local drugstore. Now located in the heart of charming Old Town Sherwood, the library offers a collection of more than 50,000 items and serves as a vibrant community center. The library is continuing its mission to inspire discovery and enrich lives—offering virtual book groups, reference help, weekly trivia and more. The library is honored to be a strong contributor to the Sherwood community and what makes so many proud to call Sherwood home.

"An elderly and lonely man writes his truth in a notebook and encourages others to do the same. As the notebook passes through many hands, lives are changed and healed. A warm, lighthearted read." - Becky G., Sherwood Public Library
|
"Serendipity, dreams, fate, and coincidence are all up for grabs in this fun read about why we keep running into the same people or - gasp! - see them in our dreams. A wonderfully fast read featuring a determined protagonist aimed at finding out the truth about love and the unexplained." - Joy R., Sherwood Public Library
|
"A cathartic and charming read, well-balanced with Hodgman’s wit and meaningful introspection. Best read with a glass of water since it’s full of very dry humor. But take care or you might just find water coming of your nose when you can’t hold back the laughter!" - Olivia A., Sherwood Public Library
