Every week we feature new staff picks by the Iowa City Public Library staff.

This week, we spoke with Kara Logsden, a community services coordinator. Logsden said while on vacation in Colorado she happened upon books by Sandra Dallas, a Colorado author, that she hadn't realized Dallas had written. Logsden tells us in this video why Dallas is such a good read full of great details, and how one of her books has an Iowa connection

For some other book suggestions, check out the suggestions in our Iowa Patch Book Club discussion. In our most recent book club post, we're asking people what are some of their favorite graphic novels.
