New books at last!

You may have heard about the "ransomware" hack that we suffered in January.  This attack has hampered many of the library's functions, including the ordering, cataloging, and processing of new books. Finally, some are trickling in, and here they are for your reading enjoyment.  We hope for many more soon.
