If you’re ahead of the game when it comes to Christmas prep — cookies baked, presents wrapped, tree decorated — then it’s time for a little “me time.” Treat yourself to a few minutes (or few hours) by curling up with a good book.
Emily Kornak, Lake Geneva Public Library director crowdsourced book picks from library employees for our December must reads. Below are a few titles they’re currently enjoying and recommending, and they’re all available via curbside pickup from the library.
Happy holidays and happy reading from the Lake Geneva Public Library staff and At The Lake!
