The Librarians Recommend -
May, 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...

"The world was hers for the reading." 
 ~ Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

The Librarians Recommend Video

 
This month we discuss books in a variety of genres - a few thrillers and detective stories. A horror novel set on a half sunken freighter off the Texas coast, a historical fantasy novel and a coming of age story. We also talk about some romances.

Book Chat
Book Chat is Back!

Book Chat is not a book club, it's a place to talk about our favorite books and authors, why we love reading, hot new releases, and more! Share your reads and listen to picks and pans of this avid group of readers.
We meet the first Thursday of the month at 10:00 am from September to May.
