“Wicked” by Gregory Maguire has been a long-awaited read for many, with the book having 40-plus holds at the library. The book’s popularity has only grown with the release of the film adaptation in November. To avoid being out of the loop, it’s suggested to read the books before upcoming film and TV adaptations hit the screens. Films like “Nightbitch” by Rachel Yoder and “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez are based on celebrated novels and incorporate elements of magical realism.
Authors like Emily Henry, with many of her popular romance novels being adapted for film or TV, present a good opportunity for readers to catch up on their work. Other books like “The Nickel Boys” by Colson Whitehead and “The Wedding People” by Alison Espach are also getting adapted.
The Westerly Library and Wilcox Park offers a range of events and programs throughout the week, including book clubs, craft activities, and mental health advocacy services. Cassie Skobrak, an adult services librarian at the library, provides information on the latest happenings and popular books and DVDs available for loan.
