*St. Johns Reads 2026 featured program
Get ready to step into the wild world of one the most legendary creatures of all time - Bigfoot!
Join Producer, Lead Investigator and New Jersey native Mike Familant of Sussex County Bigfoot (You Tube) and In the Shadow of the Big Red Eye (Facebook) as he shares his experiences researching and tracking down the truth behind North America's most iconic cryptid!
Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Grassman, Skunk Ape or Big Red Eye: whatever you choose to call this large, bipedal hominid, Mike has probably tried to track it down...from the Florida swamps to the North Country of Maine and everywhere in between!
This program is sponsored through the generosity of the Friends of the Hastings Library.
We are pleased to announce that our book selection for St. Johns Reads 2026 is "An Immense World" by Ed Yong!
In An Immense World, Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong takes us beyond the limits of human perception to explore how animals experience the world through senses both familiar and strange, from echolocation and ultraviolet vision to magnetic and electric fields. With vivid storytelling and infectious curiosity, Yong reveals that our reality is just a narrow slice of a much larger, richer sensory world teeming all around us.
An Immense World is available in both Adult and Young Adult editions in print, as well as in e-book and e-audiobook formats on Libby.
In its 22nd year, St. Johns Reads is the St. Johns County Public Library System's annual "One Book, One Community" event focused on creating a shared conversation on a selected novel. St. Johns Reads is proudly supported by the Friends of the Library groups.
