Matt de la Peña is a New York Times bestselling and Newbery Award-winning author for youth, and he joins us at the library for two days in September to talk to kids and teens about his books and writing! Check out our two events with him below and register now to reserve your seat, and a book!
While Marvel’s newest Disney+ series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, is faithful to its comic-book counterpart in many ways, it’s also a departure from “the formula.” Jennifer Walters, a.k.a. She-Hulk, is not like other Marvel heroes. Unlike her cousin, Bruce Banner, she doesn’t lose herself to the “monster.” And unlike fellow lawyer (and vigilante) Matt Murdock/Daredevil, she doesn’t have a secret identity. But maybe a female-led comedy/legal drama (albeit with a healthy dose of action and adventure) is just what the Doctor (Strange) ordered?
If you’re new to the Jade Giantess or just find yourself wanting more than an episode a week, the Library has you covered.

The long-awaited small-screen adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman just dropped on Netflix! And we've got some great book recommendations to keep you up late reading. Why count sheep when there's one more comic or one more chapter?
The first day of school is upon us! As students start to prepare to return to the classroom, so do the first day of school jitters. While some kids welcome the start of the school year, others dread the end of summer. One way you can help beat the back to school blues is with books!
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman! Well, not exactly…
To be fair, Krypto the Super-Dog and “the last son of Krypton” have the exact same superpowers. Which is why you’ll see the caped, crime-fighting canine flying side-by-side with his best friend, the Man of Steel, high in the skies of Metropolis! And now, he’s the star of the new summer blockbuster DC League of Super-Pets – in theatres July 29. If you like Super-Pets, then we have good news for you (and several book recommendations)!
