SPOTLIGHT on November's selection
​Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.
Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.
Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late.

Stop by the library to pick up this month's free craft bag. It includes everything your child needs to complete a fun new craft. This is a great option if you are looking to keep the kids or grandkids off the screens for a bit.

Head to the library's Facebook page to listen to one of our great volunteers read "Pumpkin Day at the Zoo". This adorable book celebrates the fall season. When farmers and pumpkin patch owners donate their pumpkins to the zoo, the animals chomp, chew, play and give hearty hoorays for their favorite squishy squash
