What are you reading right now?
Child 44 by Rob Tom Smith. It’s set in Russia during the 1950s and reads like a dystopian science fiction story since all of the characters live in constant fear of the government. It’s not the type of story I usually read but it’s by a writer I've recently discovered and I’m fascinated by the characters and very different setting. I can’t put it down!

I really enjoy working at FCPL. We have such a great staff and wonderful patrons. Every day is different and always interesting. You never know who you’ll meet or what you’ll learn by working at the Info Desk. The occupational hazard for me is that I can’t possibly read all the books that catch my eye. I feel like a kid in a candy store. Every day, the list of books I want to read grows longer and longer.
