It’s National Library Week! Let’s explore behind the shelves and discover books penned by librarians.
GHOST STATION BY S.A. BARNES
“Fans of the original Alien film will enjoy this tense psychological-horror story set in a far-flung future as the crew tries to solve the mystery of this abandoned mission while navigating the atrocities of their corporate employer, which they know all too well.”–Booklist
S.A. BARNES works in a high school library by day, recommending reads, talking with students, and removing the occasional forgotten cheese-stick-as-bookmark.
LOCKED IN PURSUIT BY ASHLEY WEAVER
“With many well-deployed historical mystery tropes on offer, including a juicy love triangle and a host of elegant gowns, it’s an enjoyable, fast-paced lark. Fans of Susan Elia MacNeal and Rhys Bowen will have fun.”—Publishers Weekly
Ashley Weaver is the Technical Services Coordinator at the Allen Parish Libraries in Oberlin, Louisiana.
LEAVE NO TRACE BY A.J. LANDAU
“This must-read thriller is addictive and engaging.“ —Library Journal

THAT LIBRARIAN BY AMANDA JONES
