The United States election is around the corner! If you are eligible to vote in this election, it’s absolutely vital that you confirm your voter registration status. Voter rolls are being purged and tampered with on a regular basis throughout the United States, so being previously registered to vote is not a guarantee of your current status. Some states even allow you to register on election day, so it’s always worth making sure you can still vote.

• Click here to find your local polling location
• Click here to track your ballot if you’ve voted by mail

Be sure to track your ballot so you know your vote is being counted.

Featured New Release: Blood Hunt by Jed MacKay, Pepe Larraz, and Sara Pichelli 

Super heroes vs. vampires in the bloodiest Marvel event ever! The skies have gone dark, the sun hiding its face from the carnage to come. The children of the night, the vampires, have risen from the dark and hidden places of the world as one to drown the Marvel Universe in blood. Earth's final night has fallen. Can its greatest heroes stem the tide of blood? The broken Avengers join the fighters of the Midnight Mission and unlikely allies Bloodline and Dracula in seeking out the one man who can do something about this: Doctor Strange. But in the wake of these apocalyptic events, what is left of Earth's Sorcerer Supreme? And even if the world can be saved, how will it be changed?

Currently Reading: Give Me Your Hand by Megan Abbot

Kit has risen to the top of her profession and is on the brink of achieving everything she wanted. She hasn't let anything stop her.

But now someone else is standing in her way: Diane. Best friends at seventeen, their shared ambition made them inseparable. Until the day Diane told Kit her secret -- the worst thing she'd ever done, the worst thing Kit could imagine -- and it blew their friendship apart.

Kit is still the only person who knows what Diane did. And now Diane knows something about Kit that could destroy everything she's worked so hard for.

How far would Kit go to make the hard work, the sacrifice, worth it in the end? What wouldn't she give up? Diane thinks Kit is just like her. Maybe she's right. Ambition: it's in the blood...
