Hi, my name is Kristen, I'm a librarian with
Dallas Public Library and I'm going to share
with you a couple of books that I've been reading to
help get me through these days of quarantine.
The first is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. This
is a fantastical story that takes place in
the tunnels of the streets below London. It's
about a young man who meets a girl whose lived
her whole life down there and as he helps
her, he realizes that his life will literally
never be the same. It's got wonderful quirky
characters; it's got a really unique setting
and that charm and humor that we love of Neil
Gaiman. Second is Educated by Tara Westover.
This one takes place far removed from society
in the mountains of Idaho. It's about a young
girl who grew up without ever going to school.
She learned to read on her own and how she
realizes she wants to go to college, so she
teaches herself enough to take the ACT and
she heads off into the world. It's about what
she discovers and her unique perspective with
the way she grew up. If you like either of
these, they are available through Dallas Public
Library's ebook resources, just search for
Dallas library and ebooks and the page will
come up for you and if you would like more
recommendations, try our personal librarian
service. Go to dallaslibrary.org/DPLwhatsnext
and we will give you personalized recommendations
on what you can read, listen to, or watch to
help get you through the time we have at home.
Thanks so much.
