"You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep spring from coming." - Pablo Neruda

Each year, publishers take their cue from nature and release a torrent of books by their most beloved authors.  This year is no exception as the spring slate is full of new titles by long-time Library favorites.  Below, please find a list that we expect will whet your appetite for the upcoming months.  This list is not exhaustive.  If there is something you don't find here, please share it in the comments field and request it from the Acquisitions Department by filling out a request slip at the circulation desk, or login to our website and use the Suggest a Purchase form. Happy reading. —Patrick Rayner & Steven McGuirl, Acquisitions
