Choose Your Own Reading Adventure

Each month is chock full of less well known celebrations that you might not know about. There might not be enough books in the library catalog to make a whole booklist to celebrate some of these offbeat holidays, so for this month we've created a "lucky dip" - choose which holidays you'd like to celebrate, and we'll suggest a book related to that topic! Lists may include fiction and/or non-fiction.
