Oh Katheryn

Don't you love it when you find some time to unwind and get swept away in a good book? Both Courtney and I have been utterly enchanted with Alison Weir’s Tudor Queen series and had to include her new summer release Katheryn Howard The Scandalous Queen in this month’s New Arrivals newsletter. Most films and books concentrate on Anne Boleyn but the other queens are just as fascinating. The fall of Katheryn Howard, although expected, was a riveting tale.

Should you be more of an audiobook person, we have most of the Allison Weir series as a digital audiobook available through the library’s RBdigital database. If you need help accessing these do not fear! Our librarians are available to help you over the phone, through chat or email Monday - Friday 8am -5pm. We would love to hear from you!

Best Reading Wishes,

Courtney and Ustadza
