Murgia is a helper at the library, according to her recent blog in the Allentown Morning Call.

Last year, Murgia visited Palmer Branch to discuss her newest novel, LEMNISCATE (2011, Lands Atlantic).  She shared news with the YA book group that ANGEL STAR is going International!  It has been published recently in Poland and will be published in Germany and Hungary.

ANGEL STAR will also be featured at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, this year.

The rise of young adult readers has revitalized the book industry with works like "The Hunger Games" and it has help send more teens to their local libraries.

On Saturday, the Palmer branch hosted the inaugural YA Fest 2012.

More than 30 young adult authors, including four from the Lehigh Valley and from as far away as Virginia and New York, signed books, gave pointers and discussed their works.
