Fall Break

Culmination week is almost over.  Don't forget to borrow a book to read over the break!

Here are a few of the new books in the paperback section:



If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan

“Sharp and moving . . . An interesting look at gender identity and gay culture in Iran . . . Also a compelling story about class and the purpose of marriage.” --The Boston Globe

The Clockwork Dagger by Beth Cato

“This rousing tale... keeps itself grounded with a story as disarming and forthright as its appealingly capable heroine. ...Ample action and a delectably delayed romance propel the story toward a riveting finale, marking Cato as an author to watch.” --Publishers Weekly










The Boy Who Drew Monsters by Keith Donohue

"[A] chilling Christmastime horror yarn… Like a child’s attention, the book may seem to wander in its final third before ultimately revealing itself to have been horribly on point all along."—Entertainment Weekly






Come to the Reference Room to see some of our other new books in the paperback section.


As always, don't hesitate to request a new book to read!  Think about requesting a book for the winter break.

Book vs. Film

The library has just purchased some new DVDs based on some of your favorite books.  Read the book, watch the film, and let us know which you prefer!
