Susan Straub and illustrator Anait Semirdzhyan host a free story time celebrating their new picture book Ring Ring, about a grandmother and grandchild who connect through video calls.
Tightly curated shelves, strong staff picks, and a kids corner that turns browsing into an actual occasion.

Everything on the shelf feels like it’s there for a reason.
