Dawn's Picks
Simple Green Smoothies by Jen Hansard
I love a good green smoothie! Who knew that spinach, bananas, and frozen fruit blended together makes a super delish treat!
The Path to Kindness: Poems of Connection and Joy
If you think you don’t like poetry, you’ve just not read the right poems for you. Read different kinds of poems until you find yours. Jame’s Crew’s poem “Self-Care,” really speaks to me right now. Find it on page 42.
Be Joyful by Joyce Meyer
Joyce Meyer draws upon the teachings of the apostle Paul to help you experience joy-filled living. This is great to use as a daily devotional. I plan to read it again.
Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson
This is one of my favorite books by Jacqueline Woodson. “I guess the writer was thinking about how light feathers are and they can just float everywhere. And I guess that’s how hope is too–all light and everywhere like that”–Frannie, Feathers.
Dennis' Picks
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine
If you’re looking for sound advice on investments, don’t forget you have access to Kiplinger’s magazine in our reading room! Other than the current version on display, all magazines can be checked out for one week! (Plus we have this magazine available digitally, too!)
Lonesome Jubilee by John Mellencamp
Last month marked the 35th anniversary of the release of Hoosier John Mellencamp’s Lonesome Jubilee! Great music including “Check it Out,” “Cherry Bomb,” and Paper in Fire!”
