The Friend
by Sigrid Nunez
"What can a writer write about? Are there subjects that should be off limits, say a friend's suicide or the tale of a victim of sex trafficking? Is writing a gift, a vocation, a cutthroat industry? Nunez hides these questions in a story about a woman and a dog, and she does so with wit and deep feeling."

Library Stories
"I received a call from a person in Utah who wanted to let us know how much they appreciated that we were doing Drag Story Hour. They were so nice and talked about how much it meant to them even though they couldn't be there in person - just knowing it was happening was enough for them. It was the perfect way to end the evening." - Library Staff at Main
During the month of November, Meadows asked patrons to share what they are grateful for on a paper tree. Answers included cats, dogs, friends, dancing, winter, and - of course - books.
