Forthcoming Books - Spring 2017
Wednesday, March 8, 2017
“I am simply a 'book drunkard.' Books have the same irresistible temptation for me that liquor has for its devotee. I cannot withstand them.” ― L.M. Montgomery
If, like Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables, you find yourself unable to resist the lure of books, then you can expect a busy few months ahead. The titles below are just some of the new books you'll find at the Library this spring. For a more complete account of our recent acquisitions, see our New Books List, published at the beginning of every month and available on the website or at the Reference Desk. If there is something you're looking forward to reading, but don't find on this list, simply request it from the Acquisitions Department by filling out a request slip at the Circulation Desk or log in to our website and use the Suggest a Purchase form.
