Terry Pratchett wrote several books on belief but in this one he tackles the biggest aspect of belief: Hope. What else can come from a crazy assassin with a baby face and an evil heart being hired to ...

Cryptids come and go in the library. The Book Wyrm. Purple Paper Eater. Magazine Guy. But none is more mysterious than THE MOTHMAN. All this week we celebrate the Mothman with programming to bring you...

Walking into this movie, I had only heard Robert Pattinson's performance was top notch. Otherwise, I had little interest in the story of Chris Hanson, award winning journalist and host of To Catch a P...

Twice a year mankind is forced to reckon with balance. The day and the night meet in perfect unison as the sun sits right over the equator. Summer ends and everything falls into autumn. The trees feel...

They came in the library like locusts into a cornfield. Sheets were torn from the hands of librarians. They ran through the stacks with wild abandon. The library scavenger hunt began in a fury.

Students going back to school means after the final bell rings our stacks get full. For some, they've been coming for years but others this is their first time in the library. Dumped off by parents, w...
