From Co-location to Blended Facilities By Noah Lenstra The idea of libraries built in parks or community centers is not new. What is less common, however, is the idea of not just collocating but blending facilities together to create more opportunities for collaboration across governmental units.

WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA |
The Philosophy of Modern Song, by Bob Dylan, is a starred performing arts selection. "This is a fascinating and personalized journey through 20th-century popular music that’s guided by one of its luminaries." Duke Riley: Tides and Transgressions, by Duke Riley and Anne Pasternak, is a starred fine arts title. "A handsome addition to any fine art collection. It’s imaginative work with substantive themes of ecological advocacy and maritime history, all executed with a fine hand and a piratical sense of humor." And in fiction, Claire Keegan's Foster is a starred selection. "Keegan offers further evidence of her facility at imbuing short fiction with immense feeling and invoking a deceptively grand scale; a rich, compassionate work that will appeal to a wide range of readers."
