November 02 – 16, 2022.

We’re excited to join libraries and readers across the country in the Big Library Read, a reading program that connects readers around the world with the same ebook at the same time without any wait lists or holds.

This season, Norridge and Harwood Heights residents can enjoy and discuss Darcie Little Badger’s A Snake Falls to Earth. To join the worldwide book conversation, download the ebook or audiobook at mediaondemand.org or with the Libby app.

Nina is a Lipan girl in our world. She’s always felt there was something more out there. She still believes in the old stories. Oli is a cottonmouth kid, from the land of spirits and monsters. Like all cottonmouths, he’s been cast from home. He’s found a new one on the banks of the bottomless lake. Nina and Oli have no idea the other exists. But a catastrophic event on Earth, and a strange sickness that befalls Oli’s best friend, will drive their worlds together in ways they haven’t been in centuries. And there are some who will kill to keep them apart.
