Reader’s Advisory

This month we are featuring newly selected books from our Popular Reading collection. We’re very excited about the opportunity to be a part of a book leasing program, which allows us to get newly published books at a reduced cost. Now, we can provide additional print popular reading materials than we previously were able to.

January is probably my least favorite month. It’s still dark and cold. Spring is a distant dream and the excitement of the holiday season is done. I always feel like I need a little extra help. The recommendations this month are focused on ways that we can help ourselves.
