In the second floor open lobby we have new additions to the cookbook cart, the children’s & young adult quarter corner, and the classics shelves. A new feature is a “Modern Classics and Award Winners” shelf, located near the coffee table books. Also near the same table is a 13 volume set from the Scientific American Library. For VHS fans, this week, thanks to a generous donation, we have over 20 tapes of “Brute Force: The Definitive History of War Technology” as well as 12 volumes of the ABC production copies of “The Century.”
Also in the second floor lobby we have set aside a full table of newly donated children’s books, most in hardcover and of gift quality. These would make wonderful books to save for birthdays and other events throughout the year.
