Summer Reading: The Circ System Admin Shares Her Favorites
We asked Rebecca, our Circulation System Administrator (she understands the patron account system better than almost anyone), to share a few of her favorite books from when she was a kid:- A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle - "The idea of time travel as a child was fascinating. The idea that you could go anywhere - forwards or backwards - into time and meet anyone was mind-blowing. I still really like time travel concepts - Time Travelers Wife, Dr. Who, etc."
- Bunnicula by Deborah and James Howe - "I loved it as a child because the idea of a vampire bunny was hilarious"
