This novel is about a thirteen year old girl who lives with a rare disorder. The only issue is that Mia doesn’t want to tell anyone about how she views the world; which causes problems in school, with friends. Everyone already thinks she’s a “freeeaaaak”!! A Mango-Shaped Space is a novel by Wendy Mass.This book received the American Library Association Schneider Family Book Award in 2004. It has since been nominated for and received many other awards.

As I sit at my desk on a Tuesday afternoon in January, I wonder what people would like to find at their local Library? As always there is a Children’s Story time weekly. There are Craft sessions on Saturdays, once a month for Children. We have afternoon and evening book discussion groups (for Adults) The Teens have a new book club and will also be enjoying their own crafts. Coming soon, Chesley Book Chat for adults to talk about the books they have read and enjoyed. I would like to hear from you…. What are we missing? Is there a program that you’re interested in us offering? We are always open for suggestions. Feel free to let us know what you would like to see happening. Send me an email at chesleylib@gmail.com or come visit me at the Circulation Desk. Watch our Library sign for upcoming events. Hope to see you soon! Diane Kizirian Library Assistant |
