Folklore PhD student Kaley Arens discovers fairy tales are real when she visits her friend Jobi's home on the island of Bellis. This isn't just an island; it's another world with its own royalty and rules. Kaley's arrival isn't accidental. She shares a mysterious connection with Jobi and Bellis, possessing abilities that could shape its fate. Tasked with finding a lost prince, Kaley, accompanied by the enigmatic Tanek and her bodyguard Sojee, journeys through Bellis, a land of beauty and terror. Here, the familiar and uncanny intertwine, blurring the lines between hero and villain. Kaley can alter the fairy tales she knows, but her own story is unfolding unpredictably, leading her toward an unforeseen destiny.

A Matter of Balance: Fall Risk Management was a February workshop at the library facilitated by Sandra Carson and Nicole Gaither for adults 60 and older (or caregivers of seniors 60 and older), promoting a view of falls and fear of falling as controllable while setting realistic goals for increasing activity, changing the environment to reduce fall risk factors, and promoting exercise to increase strength and balance.
This month, we're shining a spotlight on the Vidalia onion, a true Georgia treasure! These sweet, mild onions are a culinary delight and a testament to the unique agricultural landscape of our state.
Did You Know?
Vidalia onions are grown in a specific 20-county region in Georgia, thanks to the unique soil composition that gives them their signature sweetness.
They were accidentally discovered in the 1930s when a farmer named Moses Coleman found that his onions were sweet instead of pungent.
Vidalia onions are Georgia's official state vegetable!
