Updated 2018/08/27

A young German woman hired to be Hitler’s food taster in his mountain retreat plots against him in V.S. Alexander’s ‘The Taster.’

A crow and a tree help out their human neighbours in Katherine Applegate’s ‘Wishtree.’

Congratulations on all our Summer Reading Club participants. 621 readers was a truly phenomenal summer, and our record for Cranbrook. If you somehow missed the closing ceremonies, your medal and certificate is still available to be picked up. Just ask at the front desk. Congratulations to everyone!
