Taylor Swift fans! We're happy to tell you about one of this week's big new releases. Just out yesterday, this is the book on Taylor Swift: the first full look at her work and her impact on the music industry. The author Rob Sheffield is both a respected music journalist and the most trusted source of Taylor Swift news for fans everywhere.
At just 184 pages, it's the perfect size: big enough to give Swifties a lot to dig into, and small enough to be a stocking stuffer. You can order it online or visit us in store at River Bookshop.
We are excited to have two story times this week. Join Darrie-Ann on Friday, November 15th for a special PA DAY Story Time at 11AM, when we share some stories and a craft about animals and the changing of the seasons. Come see what happens in nature as the leaves and snow begin to fall.
AND on Sunday, November 17th, Author and Educator Carlie Jean will be joining us as our Story Time reader. Carlie will be sharing some beautiful and imaginative picture books about BOOKS, libraries, and the LOVE of reading. Join us weekly for our Sunday Story Time at 11AM.
