"Boice reinvents sitcom as noir, recounting the fictitious fate of Richie Cunningham and the rest of the 'Happy Days' gang following the demise of the show. In the process, he entertainingly wraps the reunion of some of our beloved '70s sitcom characters in with the title mystery. A quick read at just under 200 pages. " -David, Meadows Branch

Library Love Stories
“I think about the gorgeous music I have heard in the theater, the quartets that have brought me to the heights of delight, the amazing singers, all of the fantastic players brought to the library. It is an absolutely amazing cultural resource and I thank the Foundation and the curator that brings such joy to this city.” -J.W., on the BPL Concert Series
"Being able to have access to the online resources like Lynda.com has allowed me to learn more so I'm able to be more versatile in my skills. I also love all of the Overdrive audiobooks, they're great when my eyes are tired but I still want to read." -Michelle, on how the library has made her life better
