Mrs. Bangert enjoyed the long weekend, finally getting to read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Although prequels do not always fare well in reviews,  this is a great read, providing  context for the ensuing Hunger Games trilogy.

In the background of this photo, you’ll also notice the library’s newest holding from Divergent author Veronica Roth, Carve the Mark, recommended by Mrs. Pauley.  Both The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and Carve the Mark are in the library now and available for check out.
