I get lots of book recommendations from people in the library (which is one of the great things about working here!). And I try to stay up to date with "hot" titles- the ones everybody seems to ask for. The hard thing about those popular books is finding a copy that's not checked out, as I'm sure you know.
One such book is My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult, which is being released as a movie on June 26th. The book tells a gripping and compelling story about Anna, a girl who was genetically planned, conceived to act as a donor, for her sister who suffers from a rare form of leukemia. At the age of 13, she hires a lawyer to obtain medical emancipation and control over what happens to her own body.
We carry the book in regular and large print, and on audio CD. Now, KCPL is introducing a new format of audiobooks called Playaways. Each Playaway is about the size of stack of a dozen credit cards, and contains one, pre-loaded audiobook. All you need is a AAA battery and some headphones and you're ready to listen! Currently on Playaway, we have authors such as Dean Koontz, Nora Roberts, Charlaine Harris, Kathy Reichs, James Patterson and many more! When you're looking for a book, ask if it's available on Playaway.
