Thank you for helping to #bookmarkthetown!

As signs pop up across Mecklenburg County, it’s been exciting to learn what Library users are reading and recommending. The variety reflects the rich diversity of our population – we’ve received titles from contemporary fiction to recent non-fiction, classics, self-help and fantasy.

Some of the most recommended adult titles are:

• Caste, by Isabel Wilkerson
• American Dirt, by Jeanine Cummins
• The Vanishing Half, by Brit Bennett
• Untamed, by Glennon Doyle
• The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

And for children:

• Watership Down, by Richard Adams
• Charlotte’s Web, by E.B. White
• The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster

The list keeps growing as more generous donors continue to plant their yard signs and share their recommendations.

We’ve extended the Bookmark the Town campaign until June 30 – it’s not too late to pick up a sign for yourself, for Father’s Day or for a favorite graduate.

Keep reading, and watch this space in early July for the complete list of recommended titles!
