Leave your art with our staff and come back to find your tree in our forest. 🌲 🌲 🌲 #ptbo #ptboLibrary #ptboontario #ptboont #peterborough #nogojiwanong #libraryprogram #tessellation #pinetrees #sustainability #libraryart #youth #family

“And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul”
The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix is a fast-paced, frightening, and wickedly humorous thriller. Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For over a decade, she's been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized--someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece. Curious? Find it on our New Book Shelf or place a hold on it in our catalogue. #ptbo #Nogojiwanong #NogoReads #ptboOntario #ptboLibrary #ptboOnt #peterborough #ptboReads #newbookshelf #libraryLife #LibraryLove #bookrecommendation #FinalGirlsSupportGroup #GradyHendrix
