The 39 Clues

If you were given the choice between a million dollars and a hunt for clues that will take you around the world in search of the greatest power imaginable, what would you do?

Follow the adventures of Dan and Amy as they make this choice and must live with their decision. Join them as they fight rival family members and an unknown group out to destroy them in an attempt to gain ultimate power.

Do you like mysteries, action and adventure? This is the series for you!

New Book

If you love Lemony Snicket's hilariously dark sense of humor, you'll adore his new book, '13 Words.' As in his Series of Unfortunate Events, Snicket introduces children to new vocabulary (word #2 is desolate!), craftily intertwining it into the story of a sad bird's day.

Who doesn't want a Snicket holiday book? If you're interested in a Hanukkah/ Christmas crossover that will make you laugh, check out, 'The latke who couldn't stop screaming : a Christmas story.'

Snicket fans rejoice in some of his more fortunate offerings.

Christmas Closing

Merry Christmas everyone! Remember, Jacksonville Public Library will be closed on Friday December 24th through Monday December 27th. We will re-open on Tuesday December 28th.

You still have a few days to come in and check out awesome holiday books.

Hope you all have a 'cool' holiday.
