Hungry caterpillar is google image
In celebration for the first day of Spring, Google's image has changed to a representation of Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." You can also read The Telegraph's article about the Google image and read background information on the iconic book here.

Book reviews
If you're looking for book reviews we've got them, but not on this page. As of today, book reviews and recommendations have their own blog, BookLooks. The blog will encompass a wide variety of reviewed books with a link to the library's catalog so you can place a hold. So, if you're looking for something to read check it out!
