Wowza! H-O-T spells… oh brother, it’s way too h-o-t to come up with bad puns.

If you need something to distract you from the Hades-like heat, though, how about some cool new books? Oh hey, what a surprise — there’s a new James Patterson! We also have new reads from Nora Roberts and Jo Nesbø among others, and plenty of new books to keep your little summer readers busy too.

If even reading feels like too much effort right now, we have some new movies and six new jigsaw puzzles. Get ’em while they’re hot for some fun at home — or come chill out with us in the library for a while. You can watch DVDs on our computers or pitch in on the community puzzle while you cool off.

Go here to view/download the entire list of new items, then click on a cover image for details and reserve items from your account online if you like for easy pickup at the front desk.

Over at our downloadable library (Libby/OverDrive), you’ll find 25 new additions since our last update. View them here, then sign in with your library card and password (four-digit PIN) to access more than 13,000+ free eBooks and eAudiobooks available with your library card.
