If you have not heard of this and you live in Greene County you are missing something amazing! BBR and I have many book reviews and giveaways on our blog, SAHM & TW(2b), but there is still that magic moment when you visit the library. I am not sure if I was a librarian in a past life, but I love going! Being from a smaller community gives us a privilege when visiting the library - they know you by name. I love that when I go because I can just browse all the books and find a random one that looks appealing. My Nana Zollars let me borrow The Help from her and I instantly wanted to find another book that was from the same era/setting. I did find one, it was called Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. I actually found it by walking the aisles of books and looking at the covers. I admit, I had to visit the Bowlby online card catalog to remember what the name was though - I read it last summer. 
What is OverDrive?
It is a virtual library! I honestly was waiting for this to come out and am so exited the library started it! You need a library card, so if you are living in Greene and Washington County get to the library and get one - they are free. On OverDrive you can get books for all of your devices.
