Fall Books: Keep Calm and Read On!

Recently our library district hosted the “Keep Calm and Read On” Book Buzz Tour presented by Random House to introduce some of the books on the way. I was able to attend with two of my good friends. At the end of the presentation, everyone in attendence was able to choose a book to take home with us!
