Sharon Kofoed, Library Curriculum Associate
“I would recommend “Magyk” by Angie Sage…has some similar tones to Harry Potter and the world building is even better, in my opinion.”

David Arredondo, Collection Services Librarian
“I’m reading Matilda by Roald Dahl to my children right now, and it is a fun and fast read. But, if your idea of fun is tragedy, try The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.”
Makylee Kaping, Acquisitions Associate
“The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer would be a fun book recommendation. I also highly recommend Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate.”

Matt McDowall, Library Information Systems Support Specialist
This summer I've really enjoyed John Green's The Anthropocene Reviewed.
Lisa Mount, Library Circulation Manager
“Any of Lilian Jackson Braun’s The Cat Who… books”
Joseph Anderjaska, Library Access Services Associate
“I would recommend Ray by Barry Hannah. Very few people know about it. It’s rather short, but full of so many of the possibilities that great literature has to offer, one of them being comedy.”
Kimberly McNutt, Cataloging and Metadata Associate
“The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson”
