Just finished Fredrik Backman's "My Friends." One of those books I was sorry to see end. Some characters I will remember for a long time. Great read to start your summer.

Board Chairman John Wahl, who is also the chair of the Alabama Republican Party, said board members believe the Fairhope library is in violation of state policies to protect children from inappropriate materials. The books cited by the upset parents included “Sold,” a National Book Award finalist about a girl who is sold into sexual slavery in India.
