This year’s theme for the Garfield County Libraries Adult Summer Reading program is “Groundbreaking Reads”. In conjunction with this theme, we would like to know which books our readers have found to be “groundbreaking." It could be a book that has personally impacted you, an important work of literary achievement, or a book you believe everyone should read. We'll leave the definition up to you!

Hacker. A term that conjures up images of computer tyrants exploiting other computers to obtain control or steal information. But that’s not the only kind of ‘hacker’ out there.
