Recommended Summer Reading...

Librarian Lynn Hoffmann shares some timely tips for summer reading and placing a hold on the books you want.

Some of the 46 available titles include: The Dissident by Neil Freudenberger; High Lonesome: New and Selected Stories by Joyce Carol Oates; Skinner's Drift by Lisa Fugard; At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years, by Taylor Branch; Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community and War by Nathaniel Philbrick; and The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan.
