  • The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick
    A librarian’s discovery of a mysterious book dedicated to her by her long dead grandmother sparks a journey of a lifetime.  Filled with the author’s signature charm and vivid characters, The Library of Lost and Found is a heartwarming and poignant story of how one woman must take comfort of her destiny to write her own happy ending.  Donated by Joyce Cotton.

• ADULT NON-FICTION

  • Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
    The actor delivers, in this book, a combination of memoir and self-help book.  “This is an approach book, it contains philosophies that can be objectively understood and if you choose, subjectively adopted, by either changing your reality, or changing how you see it.  This is a playbook, based on adventures in my life.”  Long on the New York Times bestsellers’ list, this is entertaining and full of good lessons.  Donated by Joyce Cotton.
