It is like a holiday around here when books arrive to add to our collection! The boxes show up and it feels like Christmas as we delve into the new titles and prepare them for the shelves. This past Monday, we received a shipment that contains some really interesting titles. After a quick review of the new books, here are some great new choices available for checkout in the Boyd library.
