Happy Holidays from the Library of Justice!

Well, it's been QUITE THE YEAR, folks. We hope you've all be staying safe and healthy during these very uncertain times. But it does seem like an upswing is right around the corner. To celebrate a little of that positivity, we've put in some fresh comic selections in the library. The assistant librarian was very choosy about which titles were included. 

We've also put in a few pals from Sesame Street to help raise spirits for the lucky folks who find them. Soon we'll say good bye (good riddance?) to 2020.

Until then, stay safe, be well, and we hope you enjoy the books!

Valentine's Day Reader Treats!

Wither yon Lois, Clark? Thou art a cad!

Scandalous!

Happy Valentine's Day! Or happy spend-some-quiet-time-with-a-book-or-comic day! We slipped a couple of romance-y themed treats into the library this morning. Young Romance from DC Comics is a revival from the days of yore and yesteryear, published just for the occasion. It's chock full 'o sweet superhero stories--including one with Superman and Wonder Woman--plus a few punch-out Valentines to woo your own cuddly caped crusader. (Too much?) It's recommended for hormonal teens and starry-eyed lovers.

We're also really excited to have a copy of New York Times bestselling novel A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. It's not your usual tawdry romance between a vampire and the witches who love them. It's much, much better than that! (Emily swears by it.) It's romantical, yet keeping with our Fantasy February theme. We know what you're thinking--that this is like that other notoriously cringe-worthy, vampires in love book series. Don't go there--this one really is well written. We're not judging. (But we do have standards!)

Stop by the Library of Justice and check 'em out!

Seasons Greetings and Salutations!

We've seen an increase in traffic to this site and our second home on Facebook, thanks to some promotion on the official Little Free Library Facebook page--so WELCOME! ...to our new visitors!

Feel free to poke around the site and learn more about out pint-sized hall of (literary) heroes and how it came to be.

It's been a busy month of December for us. Over the last week or so we've done a complete rotation of the books and comics in the library. We received a few new donations that have now been stamped and added this past weekend. Just about everything in the library now is fresh--save for the recent movie novels we featured in the From Books to Screen series (they're in there also).

Other new additions include:

Crime and mystery books, graphic novels, and comics--for a variety of ages. Classic Nancy Drew books! And a comic version of Nancy's newer adventures too.

By way of a generous donor we now have some excellent Batman: Shadow of the Bat comics following the caped crusader through his adventures as the "World's Greatest Detective" (sorry Sherlock!) as takes on the inmates at Arkham Asylum.

And I'm SUPER excited about Incognito, a great couple of graphic novels by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. Not your typical superhero-fare, they're steeped in intrigue have a classic pulp noir look and feel to them (they're for grown ups, FYI).

If novels are more your thing, we have a copy of the 1934 detective classic The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammet!

We also acquired two editions of globe-trotting reporter/detective Tintin. While relatively unknown in the US before his big film debut last year, Tintin has been a cherished character in Europe for decades and more well-known around the world. Each book has three classic Tintin adventures and are great for kids of all ages.

Finally, we'd like to pay tribute to the seasonal help we hired to provide customer service and spread some holiday cheer. He was all smiles when he began:

...but I'm afraid we worked the chap a bit too hard:

The holidays can be tough on all of us I guess.

Before he left us, he put together a wonderful selection of Christmas titles to get you in the spirit of the season. And there are many more books, comics, and graphic novels to check out as well!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and have a fantastic New Year!

Christmas comes to the Library of Justice!

On this day in 1843, Charles Dickens holiday classic, A Christmas Carol was first published in novella form. It was an instant hit, and was quickly adapted for the stage the following year. We have the novella in stock now along with a graphic novel adaption--stop by and see what the Spirit of Christmas past has in store for you!

Also new to the Library of Justice are several selections from the American Girls storybook series (based on the wildly popular dolls) with a variety of Christmas and wintry themes for children.

And finally, it's a few days before Christmas (not the night before) but we found a few mice stirring in the library for your litte mice at home, including the fantasy classic Redwall by Brian Jacques and Stuart Little by E.B. White. Epic adventures from some of our favorite mouse heroes!

Good Reading!
