LIBRARY STAFF FAVORITES
The Library is a wonderful place to find books by favorite authors, or to discover new books to read. Library patrons often ask the librarians for suggestions of books to read. The titles on this list were gathered by requesting the library staff to suggest one or two of their favorite books. Most of these titles are novels, and can be found in the fiction section under the author's last name. Nonfiction titles on the list are followed by their call numbers. If you need help finding any of these titles, please ask one of the reference librarians.
