Personally, the harbinger of the new year is not the calendar, but the taste of sour eggnog. Eggnog only seems to go bad after the new year. But never before.
The library is ringing in the new year with stacks of new books, and stacks of promises. Since the fall of 2010, and continuing through winter, new materials are populating the shelves. Click here – or the New Items tab — to see the latest. And thanks to an extremely generous gift (thanks to the giver, actually), we are building a “first-class” DVD collection that will include feature films, author talks, documentaries, and flicks for the family.
Here are a couple new books available now:
The Wisdom of Stability: Rooting Faith in a Mobile Culture by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove explores how “staying put” — a once common idea, now laughable — may be essential to a life of faith.
Louise Knight’s remarkable biography, Jane Addams: Spirit in Action, describes Addams’s journey from a Victorian upbringing to her inspirational work as a pacifist, advocate for the poor, lobbyist for women’s rights, and Nobel Peace Price recipient.
Be on the look out for new fiction, books for teens, and, of course, DVDs!
