Staff Picks
We are readers too here at the library. It is not uncommon to find a staff member on their break enjoying a good page turner. Here are some picks as chosen by staff to consider next time you need something good to read:
- Night Fall by Nelson DeMille - good story. Lots of plot twists. If you like strong characters and some good suspense this is a good read. To order - RC059489 (cassette) and BR015590(braille)
- Angels and Demons by Dan Brown - a very good murder mystery that takes you all the way into the deepest parts of the Vatican. Lots of surprises for the reader and a very good conclusion. To order - RC051799 (cassette) and LT031824 (large print)
