As I write this, Roseville is experiencing an atmospheric river. Great weather for staying inside or visiting the Retreat Library for your next read.
The newest neighborhood directory contains the borrowing procedure. We want all residence to use this service. The Retreat Library is brought
to you by a group of book loving volunteers. Check it out today!

What I hope to have on my nightstand soon:
James by Percival Everett a retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and ferociously funny,
told from the enslaved Jim's point of view. Brimming with the electrifying humor and lacerating observations that
have made Everett a "cult literary icon" (Oprah Daily), and one of the most decorated writers of our lifetime, James
is destined to be a major publishing event and a cornerstone of twenty-first century American literature".
