Hello Teens,
We hope you all made it through the winter weather safe and
sound. As we wind down the month of February, I thought we would take a look at
some of the latest audiobooks we have acquired for your listening pleasure.
Sometimes we find ourselves with limited time to sit down and physically hold a
book to read. Audiobooks are a great way to fill the time when traveling or
waiting for that next event to begin. Listed below are a few of the latest
audiobooks in our system. Give them a try and you might find your next best
way to engage with a good book.
Here’s the link to our CMRLS

many others.

In a new book that just hit our shelves in February, envy seems to play the key character that affects the relationship of four young internet influencers in California. Influence, by Sara Shepard (author of Pretty Little Liars) and Lilia Buckingham (17 year-old influencer), takes us on a journey of the trails and tribulations of internet stardom, of leading two separate lives both on and off social media, and appreciation life on whichever side of the fence life puts us.
