Watch how a library book lives its best life

Picture this: You're at a book club, or browsing a best-seller booklist, or scrolling on your For You Page, and you discover a new book recommendation. You then decide to place it on hold at your local WCCLS library. Do you know what happens next? We show you exactly that in our latest video, "Life of a Library Book" in Washington County, Oregon!
