Thanks to a ‘Keep Kids Reading’ grant From the Town Pump Charitable Foundation, Books In Search Of Kids came to life in the spring of  2022. It found it's home at the Hot Springs Mt. Farmers Market. Our mission is to provide books for children free of charge.  Outside of the Farmers Market, stop in to the Library and ask. 

     Books In Search of Kids is at  the Hot Springs Mt. Farmers Market Saturdays 10am-2pm. 

   The book that will be discussed on Thursday, October 8, 2026 at 3pm is "Dream State", by Eric Puchner.

" Cece is in love. She has arrived early at her future in-laws’ lake house in Salish, Montana, to finish planning her wedding to Charlie, a young doctor with a brilliant life ahead of him. Charlie has asked Garrett, his best friend from college, to officiate the ceremony, though Cece can’t imagine anyone more ill-suited for the task—an airport baggage handler haunted by a tragedy from his and Charlie’s shared past. But as Cece spends time with Garrett, his gruff mask slips, and she grows increasingly uncertain about her future. And why does Garrett, after meeting Cece, begin to feel, well, human again? As a contagious stomach flu threatens to scuttle the wedding, and Charlie and Garrett’s friendship is put to the ultimate test, Cece must decide between the life she’s dreamed of and a life she’s never imagined.

The events of that summer have long-lasting repercussions, not only on the three friends caught in its shadow but also on their children, who struggle to escape their parents’ story. Spanning fifty years and set against the backdrop of a rapidly warming Montana, Dream State explores what it means to live with the mistakes of the past—both our own and the ones we’ve inherited.

Written with humor, precision, and enormous heart, both a love letter and an elegy to the American West, Dream State is a thrillingly ambitious ode to the power of friendship, the weird weather of marriage, and the beauty of impermanence."
