While the Library is closed in response to COVID-19, we are still reading book reviews, looking at publisher lists, and receiving member requests. The work of buidling our collection never stops. What we have listed below are books that are "in the pipeline" and will someday be received, processed, and become a part of our collection. To place holds, log in to our website, and click on the linked titles below. You will be taken to our online catalog; once there, click the Request button over the search bar. Or you may send an email to requests@nysoclib.org to have books below placed on your holds list. Members have a lot of good reading to look forward to when we re-open. You can read the Library's COVID-19 response here.

Of course, our Cloud Library e-book collection never closes. To browse our e-book collection, click here. And a list of the most anticipated books of the coming summer is posted on our website here.
