Odds and Ends

Can't get enough of Staff Favorites? Did you know you can access an archive of lists even older than October 2006? Here's the link for the next time you can't remember the name of the book you just know was on one of those lists: Archived Staff Favorites

We also maintain a display of books in the library that the staff has especially enjoyed. Remember Gone With the Wind? The Agony and the Ecstasy? We do!

If you haven't seen our new display table, come in and take a look - currently we are featuring the earlier work of the hot authors like James Patterson, Tami Hoag, and Christopher Bohjalian. We change the topic every couple of weeks, so we'll keep you posted on what will be there - and we are always open to suggestions!

The new Oprah book for this month is The Road by Cormac McCarthy. This is a beautifully written, very dark, apocalyptic novel that doesn't extend much hope for civilization. If nothing else, it will make you feel lucky to be alive now. However, if you need an Oprah antidote, something that is pure froth, try Helen Fielding's Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination .
