Beautiful new art and design books, all for you!





These great new books have recently arrived.  We encourage you to come to the Fine Arts Room and take a look at them in person.  You'll find them and many more here, all for your enjoyment and edification!  If you can't make it to Central Library, you can always place a "hold" on any of these and have them sent to your neighborhood SLPL branch.
