Spring may finally be here. (Hooray!) You'll want to visit the Library to check out the latest in garden books, magazines, and various hiking guides that were recently purchased. And for those days that just don't feel spring-like, how about a good-old-fashioned novel? Whether your taste runs to murder mysteries, thrillers, historical novels, or classical literature, we probably have something that will make for good reading on a cold, rainy day. Be sure to check out the shelves of recently added books behind the circulation desk. There is lots of nonfiction available too!
