Book: I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue As far as Jolene is concerned, her interactions with her colleagues should start and end with her official duties as an admin for Supershops, Inc. Unfortunately, her irritating, incompetent coworkers donât seem to understand the importance of boundaries. Her secret to survival? She vents her grievances in petty email postscripts, then changes the text color to white so no one can see. That is until one of her secret messages is exposed. Her punishment: sensitivity training (led by the suspiciously friendly HR guy, Cliff) and rigorous email restrictions. When an IT mix-up grants her access to her entire departmentâs private emails and DMs, Jolene knows she should report it, but who could resist reading what their coworkers are really saying? And when she discovers layoffs are coming, she realizes this might just be the key to saving her job. The plan is simple: gain her bossâs favor, convince HR sheâs Supershops material, and beat out the competition. But as Jolene is drawn further into her coworkers' private worlds and realizes they are each keeping secrets, her carefully constructed walls begin to crumbleâespecially around Cliff, who she definitely cannot have feelings for. Eventually she will need to decide if sheâs ready to leave the comfort of her cubicle, even if that means coming clean to her colleagues. Homemade treats will be offered, inspired by the book. Please call the Library at 508-476-2695 or email [email protected] for more information! Better yet, just come. Copies of the book are available at the Library.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams Itâs an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur Dent . . . until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly after to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthurâs best friend has just announced that heâs an alien. After that, things get much, much worse. With just a towel, a small yellow fish, and a book, Arthur has to navigate through a very hostile universe in the company of a gang of unreliable aliens. Luckily the fish is quite good at languages. And the book is The Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy . . . which helpfully has the words DONâT PANIC inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover. Douglas Adamsâs mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with both time and physics, offers up pithy commentary on such things as ballpoint pens, potted plants, and digital watches . . . and, most important, reveals the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. Now, if you could only figure out the question. . . . Please call the Library at 508-476-2695 or email [email protected] for more information. Better yet, just come! Copies of the book are available at the Library.
