The Thrill of a "Lucky Star"

One of my favorite things working in circulation is seeing one of you walk in the library and finding a must read selection on the shelves. At times we feel like confetti should fall from the ceiling when someone is lucky enough to enter in the library and find one of the most popular selections is on our "Lucky Star" display.

Duxbury library prides itself on purchasing multiple copies of popular reads based on Duxbury patron requests. Our selectors monitor the reports and will place an additional order for a book if there are a number of Duxbury patrons in the hold queue waiting for available copies. Our "Lucky Star" copies do not get circulated in the hold queue and cannot be renewed so often you will be surprised to see a book you have been on hold for available on this shelf.  "Lucky Star" books are created when the books have a lot of holds (some even before they are released from the publisher.)

Recently books people have cheered when they have become available are: , "City of Girls" by Elizabeth Gilbert , Delia Owen's "Where the Crawdads Sing",  Elin Hilderbrand's "Summer of '69", Margaret Atwood's "The Testaments"and most recently and  JoJo Moyes newest "The Giver of Stars".

What will be our newest "Lucky Star" favorite?  Come in and see if you are lucky enough to find it.
