New Arrivals

At the beginning of every week a selection of new books and media at the library are displayed next to the printing area on the main floor. I will be updating this blog as this display is changed with a selection from the new arrivals that may be of interest. As always, a listing of all the new arrivals can be found in our catalog through the library website.
