Friends of Montclair Library

Don’t forget that the Montclair branch (and all of OPL) will be closed for the holidays/budget cuts Saturday, December 22 through Tuesday, January 1. That means you have just 2 days left to pick up some reading material to last you into the new year! (Of course, you can still check out e-books and Discover & Go passes online during the closure.)

For kids, Red Tricycle has a fun list of holiday books that go “Beyond the Grinch,” including funny hits like Auntie Claus by Elise Primavera and How Santa Got His Job by Stephen Krensky.

Or for adults, see what books Judd Apatow, Bonnie Raitt, Tony La Russa and other celebrities recommend at the end of the year, in the Wall Street Journal’s “Twelve Months of Reading.” Recommendations in the Montclair collection include Nate Silver’s The Signal and the Noise and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.
