Read and Grow...

April is National Garden Month* and if you are thinking spring, come take a look at the latest gardening books in Bailey Library’s Reading Room. These as well as other new books can be found in the Reading Room, on the shelves “under the clock.” A new selection of audio books has been added too.

Some of the newest titles:
· The Natural Gardener – Bourne
· The Writer in The Garden (audiocassette)
· Home Almanac: Maintaining your House Month by Month
· Orchid Fever – Hansen
· Design in the Garden – Barth
· The Illustrated Virago Book of Women Gardeners – Kellaway
· Forever Green: The History and Hope of the American Forest – Welch
· The Forest Lover – Vreeland (CD)
· Clean Like a Man: Housekeeping for Men – McNulty
· A Castle in the Backyard - Draine

The Reading Room collection of print and audio books was created to provide popular fiction and nonfiction materials for the Slippery Rock community, beyond the academic collection of Bailey Library.

*The theme of this year’s garden month is Give a Garden – Help Make America a Nation of Gardeners.
