Great new books continue to come in! We are very lucky here in St. Louis that we still have a decent budget to buy books (and other materials) for our collections. Many public libraries around the country are slashing budgets, closing locations, and reducing staff. We don't believe it will come to that here. So, if you would like to check out these or any other titles, just "place a hold" on them through our catalog, or call any of our branch service desks. Enjoy!
