New Additions to Our Collection on Display

About 4 times a year, the Post Gazette provides the libraries of Allegheny County with review copies sent the Gazette on a regular basis. Last Friday we picked out 75 books from the latest selection. Our non- fiction pickings range from books on Art and Politics to Dog Whispering and Adolescent Boys, and onto a romp through the 1960s with Mad Men. One of my all-time favorites is Places for the Spirit, a book of traditional African American Gardens that testifies to the inventiveness, whimsy and imagination of folks with very few resources at their finger tips. We also have a host of new fiction by first time as well as renown authors. A few memoirs, action thrillers and historical writings – Gilded Youth: Three Lives in France’s Belle Epoque is my choice – complete the list. They are on display for the rest of September so come in and try on one for size!
