Road Trips, Beach Trips, Exploring the United States.

This week brings us into July with beach trips, road trips, camping trips, and enjoying our national parks. Looking for books set in your destinations (or to daydream)? Through the month of July and August we are selecting favorites and displaying them in the "Reader's Challenge" bookshelf across from the circulation desk. Authors Nancy Thayer and Elin Hildebrand will transport you to Nantucket.  Traveling to Maine? Enjoy mysteries by Linda Greenlaw (America's famous woman Swordfishing captain). The variety of displayed selections will transport you all over the United States and will change throughout the summer.

Looking for ebooks to download set throughout the United Status check out this list "The Most Famous Book Set in the United States" published by Business Insider. Does your selection have a hold list? Don't forget Duxbury library code holders can check out books in the Sails Library Network and Minuteman Library Network.

Packing for your road trip - don't forget the selection of audio mp3 players we have for all ages, cds (and cd players), and video playaways for children.

I've selected a couple of interesting lists that have come in my inbox.

Are you a fan of Anthony Horowitz? Many Duxbury readers enjoyed his last novel "Magpie Murders" (which I'm enjoying on Hoopla) and his newest mystery "The Word is Murder" promises to delight fans with a great twist - the author places himself in the action. Want to find out more? Bookpage interviews the author.
