The Key to a Great Career: Marc’s Story

January 4, 2023

Most career paths don’t begin with a single book, but Marc can point to one: The Red Web: The Struggle between Russia’s Digital Dictators and the New Online Revolutionaries. That book (borrowed through the library’s interlibrary loan/purchase suggestion service) and Marc’s educational background in Russian studies sparked his initial interest in cybersecurity. “I ultimately chose […]

Learning the Ropes: Sandy’s Story

January 4, 2023

Sandy is a quick study. The first couple of times she went into the stacks at the Quakertown branch with a list of titles needed to fulfill new holds, she was – in her own words – “terrible.” Now, her word is “slick.” “It’s a pretty long list when I come in on Monday mornings […]

In the Present Moment: Noah’s Story

September 30, 2022

Noah’s fingers flip through each book, his focus trained on cover after cover. When he finds a children’s book that isn’t in the right place, he slides it out, flips through the pile until he’s found the correct location, and drops it in. Then he’s right back on the search for more misplaced books.   […]

Summer Reading for Adults: Mysteries

June 2, 2022

Who doesn’t love a good whodunit? There’s something so satisfying about a good cat-and-mouse story in which the reader is kept just at the brink of cracking the case. We love to try our (gloved) hands at sleuthing, but we also want to be kept in the dark. It’s a hard trick to pull off! […]
