March into The Retreat Library for a great book to read. Do you have a fiction addiction or do you enjoy non-
fiction books that take you somewhere real? Your Retreat Library holds over 1,000 titles waiting for you to
borrow. If you don’t find a title of your choice, remember the Roseville Public Library is located at 1501 Pleas-
ant Grove Blvd with friendly staff ready to assist you. RPL is offering Tech Help for questions regarding devic-
es and apps too. Drop in on the first Friday of every month between 10:00am-12:00pm to ask all of your ques-
tions. This is on a first come first serve basis. National Library Week is the last week of April. RPL will hold a
book mark design contest. Stop by and design a book mark to the theme of “There’s More to the Story”. No
matter the collection size all libraries deserve a bit of gratitude. Let’s celebrate the marvelous work The Retreat
Library volunteers and libraries in general do for our community – a huge Thank You!

The Friends of the Roseville Public Library will host a gently used Book Sale on May 13, 2023 and an event called Potterverse on April 22,
2023. Both are at the Mahany campus. Potterverse is a day of wizarding fun for families. Check their website for more details on all they do at

Book recommendation for April: Jess Walter’s book, The Cold Millions is a national bestseller. Those who have named it
the best book of the year are too numerous to list. Two brothers are swept up in the turbulent class warfare of the early
1900’s. The other characters include cops, tramps, suffragists, socialists, madams and murders. A little something for eve-
ryone. Boston Globe says, “The Cold Millions writer has planted himself firmly in the first rank of American authors”.
Readers who enjoyed The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles have also liked this novel.
