Prepare for the Apoc-Eclipse!

Want to have extra books and movies on hand so you can relax at home, but worried about needing to return them during the chaos?

As a courtesy to our patrons, no items will be due August 16th through 28th.

Check out what you need now and don’t worry about needing to return them until after the crowds go home.  (One week items – like DVDs – checked out prior to August 9 will still be due before the eclipse.)

Also, we will be closed Saturday, August 19th, and Monday, August 21st.

Learn more about our eclipse events!

“Amid Stars and Darkness” by Chani Lynn Feener

“Amid Stars and Darkness” by Chani Lynn Feener

Delaney Grace is just a normal girl, living in a world where aliens have recently revealed their presence. They are very similar to humans in nature, but far more advanced in technology. Delaney’s best friend Mariana is obsessed with these alien races and spends a lot of time learning about them. Now she’s on her way to her first blind date, with Delaney as her wing man.

Unfortunately, while Mariana is busy with her new conquest, Delaney runs into trouble and ends up kidnapped by the Vakar and taken to their world. Now she must play the part of the missing alien princess to avoid intergalactic war. Which would be so much easier if everyone wasn’t trying to kill her. Everyone except her own royal guard, Ruckus, that is. Soon they are feeling their own sparks, but as Delaney wants nothing more than to return to her own planet, will it be for naught?

While some of the characters were little more than stereotypes, for the most part they were believable and engaging. The world Feener has created here is one that lends itself to many adventures to come. Can’t wait to see the rest of this series, and whatever else she comes up with as well.

This is a great new sci-fi romance, perfect for fans of These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner. Fair warning though – this leaves readers with an awful cliffhanger ending, so be prepared to wait anxiously for book 2.
