Dive in for a Good Read - If you see a bookmark sporting a turtle and a good read recommendation this means one of our library borrowers thinks the book was great. If you enjoyed reading something make sure you put your own "Dive in for a Good Read" bookmark in it when you return the item. Dive In bookmarks are available at the front counter.
