"When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest." ― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

The spring is easy to love, what with the warmer weather and lengthening daylight hours. At the Library, spring also means an wealth of new titles from our favorite authors. Below you'll find many of the new offerings for the next couple moths that we expect will be popular with our members. Place holds now on any of the books listed here. For a more complete account of our recent acquisitions, check out New Books, a list we publish at the beginning of every month that is available on the website or at the Circulation Desk.
