Surprising Items Stolen From Libraries
We hear library theft and assume book, maybe map or important documents. But here’s a fun list (for curious readers, not for the libraries) that shows surprising things stolen from libraries like skeletons, swords, and even a presidential rocking chair. I’d like to propose that maybe the skeleton grabbed his favorite weapon and seat and peaced out–someone write this book!
Edwidge Danticat For The Double-Win

Judy Blume Adaptation
Judy Blume’s coming-of-age novel Summer Sisters will be coming to television. The 1998 novel will be adapted into a limited series at Hulu with Liz Tigelaar (Little Fires Everywhere adaptation) set to write, executive produce, and be the showrunner–“Sources say she sent the author a fan letter 20 years ago in which she asked to adapt it for TV.”
