Welcome Baseball Season with new...Art Books?

Yes, even art lovers and librarians can be baseball fans, too, especially here in St. Louis.  These great new books can be checked out by placing a "hold" on them and picking them up at your favorite SLPL branch.  Come December, if all goes as planned, you'll be able to come in to the newly renovated Central Library and see them in person!
