Librarian read of the week – At the age of six, Atlee Pine’s twin sister Mercy was abducted from their bedroom, leaving Atlee for dead. Atlee recovered from her injuries, only to have her family fall apart due to grief and self-blame. Thirty years later, Atlee is still searching for Mercy while confronting both her own personal demons and numerous villains. Throughout her search, Atlee finds a variety of clues that lead her toward finding out what truly happened to Mercy. The Atlee Pine Series is a short series of 4 books by David Baldacci.

To help you with this, the Russell and Binscarth libraries invite you to join the “Baby Book Club” by filling out the brochure available on our website at https://russellbinscarthlibrary.ca or by stopping in at either branch, your baby will receive a gift book from the library. While you are there, check out what else we have to offer in our interactive children’s areas, including books, games, puzzles, and more.
