These books have been recently added to the Fine Arts collection; all may be checked out by placing a "Hold" on them and having them sent to a branch. OK, they're not the usual light summer novel for the beach, but they are worthwhile in their own way. There are more performing arts than visual arts titles this time. Enjoy!
