Valentine's Day Display

The Marywood Library is celebrating Valentine's Day with a special display that can be found right next to the new arrivals display in the library.



A few books from this small but super cute display are:

1) Arthur's Great Big Valentine by Lillian Hoban
2) Valentine Friends by Ann Schweninger
3) Valentine Mice by Bethany Roberts

Books can be checked out at the main desk as usual. The books are short, sweet, and just right for that special someone this Valentine's Day. Flowers not included :)
