Build, Imagine, and Play at the Library!
 We are thrilled to welcome a new interactive exhibit to the library on loan from the West Lorne Library. They turned a big blue racecar into a construction zone filled with Mega Bloks. It's the perfect spot for our youngest patrons to practice engineering and imagination.

Sea Wife by Amity Gaige
Sea Wife
by Amity Gaige

What happens when a marriage in crisis sets sail for the Caribbean?
In Amity Gaige’s Sea Wife, Juliet and Michael decide to escape their suburban malaise by taking their two young children on a year-long voyage across the open ocean. Michael is the dreamer, chasing a sense of freedom he can't find on land; Juliet is the reluctant traveller, carrying her own secret struggles and a thesis on confessional poetry.
Told through Juliet’s hauntingly sharp perspective and Michael’s travel logs, this isn't just a story about a shipwreck—it’s a psychological autopsy of a relationship. It is a gripping, literary thriller that explores the fine line between adventure and catastrophe, and the parts of ourselves we can never quite leave behind, even in the middle of the sea.
