[Discontinued] Staff book recommendations

We’ve began recommending books along the side bar of our webpage as you may have noticed! (check the bottom of our mobile site or look on the right on desktop view—>)
These are books that Stinson staff have read and enjoyed. We either write or find a short description of the book and publish it here. In addition to the description, each item has an image of the book cover and a direct link to the book’s record in out PAC (allowing patrons to see if the book is checked in, reserve a copy of the book, or just find out more about it).

We’re hoping to be able to publish about 3 every 2 weeks. Reviews from the past will be listed below our latest suggestions.

We hope you enjoy these books as much as we have ☺
