Stephen, Adult Services Clerk
Meet Stephen, one of the newest members of the DCTPL team! Having joined the library two months ago, Stephen brings a dynamic background, an engaging personality, and interesting perspectives - as an Army brat, he's lived in many places, such as Germany, Missouri, Kentucky, Texas, and Indiana. Stephen is a proud Ball State alum (chirp-chirp!). He was inspired to work at the library after attending the Steampunk Speakeasy event, where he saw firsthand how fun and engaging the library can be. His favorite part of the job? His awesome coworkers!
In his free time, Stephen enjoys playing video games, Dungeons and Dragons and watching movies. Some of his favorite picks include Clan of the Cave Bear (book), Emperor’s New Groove (movie), and Code Geass (TV show). Stephen's favorite spot in Danville is The Beehive, enjoying their fantastic coffee and food. If given the chance, Stephen would love the superpower to alter matter and create. If he could meet any historical figure he'd want to meet the first human to perform a successful surgery.

Wicked by Gregory Maguire
Pat B. shared a review of the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire. Despite really enjoying the musical, Pat only gave this book one-star. Having tried to read this book twice, Pat found it very dark and somewhat disturbing. Pat noted that the musical varies greatly from the book and would only recommend this to someone who enjoys very dark, serious novels.
Have you read the book, watched the musical, or seen the movie? Let us know your thoughts on our social media @dplindiana.
