Why Be A Friend? The Friends help the library
offer all the programs and resources that you love!
Are You Exploring Book Browse?
Recently, the Friends sponsored an amazing new resource for all PPLD card-holding members called BookBrowse. This is an online magazine and website that provides book reviews, author interviews, book previews, and reading guides. A tool that no book-lover should be without.
Fair warning though: browsing BookBrowse is addictive and with so many tools, books and insights you can get lost for hours!
