Now an animated series from Paramount + & Nickelodeon!
For fans of the hilarious Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, here comes the seventh novel in the New York Times bestselling series Big Nate.
BIG NATE IS LIVING IT UP!
Principal Nichols wants Nate to be buddies with new kid Breckenridge Puffington III and show him around. But that's no easy task when Breckenridge is a plant-doodling total fun-sponge. There's also something strangely familiar about this guy. . . . What in the world could it be?
Meet BIG NATE, Mr. Big-time Doodler and definitely NOT the teacher's pet.
The Love Haters by Katherine Center
In Katherine Center's latest rom-com, video producer Katie Vaughn, who can't swim, fakes it to land a career-making job profiling Coast Guard rescue swimmer Tom "Hutch" Hutcheson. The assignment sends her to Key West, where she gets entangled in a love-hate relationship with the handsome but standoffish Hutch, his vibrant Aunt Rue, and his rescue Great Dane. As she gets swept up in his world of helicopter flights and hurricanes, Katie finds herself caught in a web of lies. She must navigate stolen kisses and unexpected feelings, all while facing her fears and finally learning to be brave and tell the truth.

What an awesome Georgia Reads Day we had on September 22, 2025!
We had a fantastic Chemistry Story Time and Craft with the wonderful Dr. Storms. After reading a fun story about the first 10 elements on the periodic table, our young scientists got hands-on and created their very own hydrogen atom models! 🧑🔬✨
A huge thank you to Dr. Storms for making science so engaging and to everyone who joined us for this educational and creative event! We love seeing our community get excited about lifelong learning.
