All God’s Critters illustrates the song "All God’s Critters Got a Place in the Choir." The funny and fun illustrations will have children singing along with glee.

U Is for Undertow is Sue Grafton’s latest novel where the title begins with a letter of the alphabet. Grafton’s novels are popular with FPC readers, and Currie Library has numerous copies of her previous novels.

Longing for God: Seven Paths of Christian Devotion by Richard Foster is a resource that can help make you more open to God’s Spirit.

Dewey, There’s a Cat in the Library is based on a true story about a baby kitten found in the book-drop slot of a library. When the librarian finds him, she names him Dewey (after the Dewey Decimal System) and welcomes him in to stay in the library.

Congratulations, Mel
