Autumn is officially here, which means it’s time to enter main character mode. The library’s got everything you need to become the protagonist of your own story, where you take the lead, create the plot twists and make every moment feel like a scene straight out of a novel.
Curate the Perfect Soundtrack of Your Life
Every main character has an iconic soundtrack. With Hoopla, you can stream free music for the ultimate fall experience. Whether you’re in the mood for some lo-fi beats while journaling at the park or an indie folk vibe for a road trip, we’ve got it all.
Main Character Must-Do: Use this as an opportunity to discover new artists. Being a main character is all about growth and exploration.
Level Up the Aesthetic
Your space = your sanctuary. Our collection of interior design books will help you transform your living space into a Nancy Meyers-inspired haven where you can snuggle up with a cup of tea and a favorite read while a crisp breeze blows through an open window.
Main Character Must-Do: If you’re looking for books to permanently fill your wall space, make sure to stop by one of the Friends of the Library Book Sales.
Master the Art of Baking
Nothing says “main character vibes” like the scent of freshly baked goods. With a wide selection of cookbooks and bakeware to choose from, you can become a culinary genius and whip up treats to share with friends or neighbors. The house will smell divine, and you’ll totally be in your “cottagecore” era.

Explore the Night Sky
There’s something very main character about looking up at the stars and pondering the universe. With our new telescopes, you can take your stargazing game to the next level. Learn the constellations, brush up on astronomy knowledge and embrace the wonder of nature — who knows, it may come in handy someday.
