Connections by Delene Allen

         
Come in from the summer heat, relax and enjoy the Quitman Public Library. With over 30,000 books, movies, audio books, magazines, newspapers and eBooks, there is something for everyone. What makes great summer reading? It’s different for everyone, but mostly a “good read” follows these criteria: nostalgia-inducing, a little humor and romance, and a relaxing easy to follow storyline. Stop by and check it out!
