Just when we thought it was safe to go into our gardens, writer and gardener Amy Stewart has decided to shake us up a little with her sly compendium of wicked plants.  The full title of Amy’s newest book is Wicked Plants: the weed that killed Lincoln’s mother and other botanical atrociities.

News of a Grassroots effort that will make you feel proud of Libraries and the people who work there…

Give a listen to a tale of our generous Friends…

… who just voted to fund the full cost of our audio book rental collection.  If you are one of the hundreds of fans of recorded books, you will know that this is cause for celebration… and thanks!

So thank you, Friends of Barrington Library, for yet another generous donation to the library and the community of Barrington!
