A Few of Our Favorite Things: Staff Picks

Over in adult services, we've set up a display staff favorites. A number of nonfiction, novels, graphic novels and audiobooks will be featured there throughout the month. Next time you're in, be sure to check them out--but in the meantime, we'll be sharing some here on the blog all month too!

Name and department: Lynn, Adult Services Coordinator Staff Pick Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks What's an alternative title you'd give the book? Second Chances Summarize the book in one sentence: A woman leaves a bad situation to start over. I would recommend this book to my mother because... ...it shows that no matter how bad things get, you can always get through it.

Name and department: Dan, Collection Development Staff Pick: Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 by Tony Judt What's an alternative title you'd give the book? How the European Union Came to Be Summarize the book in one sentence: The book discusses how Europe rebuilt itself from the rubble after World War 2, with a lot of help from the U.S. I would recommend this book to my father because... ...he was very in to history. I thought a lot about him while I was reading this book.
