Staff Picks

The Puzzle Master

Danielle Trussoni

"I liked this book because it is an addictive thriller! If you want to know the author's hypothesis on how to live forever and you are interested in solving the God puzzle and being entertained at the same time, read this book." Recommended by Daryl

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Kate DiCamillo

"A timeless children's classic about being seen, heard and loved. Reread it because of a patron's fondness for the book as well. A very sweet story." Recommended by Lisa Gawthrop

The Hired Girl

Laura Amy Schlitz

"Joan's life isn't easy on the Pennsylvania farm where she lives with her hard hearted father and unsympathetic brothers. An unexpected discovery left to Joan by her late mother, allows her to run away from home and start a new life as "Janet," a maid in the household of a well-to-do Baltimore family. Set in the early part of the 20th century, fans of Little Women, Anne of Green Gables or historical fiction in general will enjoy this book. I really liked Joan and found her to be an interesting and sympathetic character." Recommended by Katie

The Collector

Daniel Silva

"Good action that revisits characters from earlier in the series!" Recommended by an SWCPL patron

Scream VI

DVD

"If you have enjoyed any of the previous iterations of the Scream franchise this will be no different. A good balance of nods to past movies and the slasher genre but still it's own movie full of twists and turns." Recommended by Andrea Pinuela

Birnam Wood

Eleanor Catton

"An eco-thriller set in New Zealand. If you like happy endings, don't read this book." Recommended by Vicki Builta

Thornhedge

T. Kingfisher

"A unique retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a delightful protagonist." Recommended by R. Lawson
SWCPL StoryWalk

The South Whitley Park Department and SWCPL have partnered to provide a StoryWalk for the community.  Children and adults can enjoy reading and the outdoors together.  The story begins in South Whitley Town Park and continues at SWCPL.  The story changes often, so check it out regularly.
