The Interestings
by Meg Wolitzer
The summer that Nixon resigns,
six gifted teenagers at summer
camp become inseparable. The

fates, in what their talents become and the
shapes their lives take.

more information or to reserve a copy of the current

Taking a trip this summer? take your best selfie!
You’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggone it, people want to see
your selfies on the beach! That’s why NPL has invested in three new “selfie sticks”
to help you get the job done. Let’s face it, relying on complete strangers to get
your best angle is not going to cut it when you’re trying to capture yourself making
important memories, so check one out today and put your best face forward!
