January's New Books in the Arts

A belated Happy New Year to us all!  Technical problems have made it impossible to post updates until now.  As always, if you see a book of interest,  just "Place a Hold" on it from our catalog, or call any branch to ask staff there to place the hold.  It can be sent to any of our branches for pickup.
