#ShelfLife - January 20, 2017

This week in the #ShelfLife, we celebrated the birthday of Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne. If you'd like to celebrate, too, stop by the library to check out a Pooh book or mark you calendars to attend a special Winnie the Pooh storytime at the Cumming Library on February 16.

When you have suggestions for our collections, we're listening. A patron recently asked about the possibility of adding more British police procedural novels and our fabulous materials selectors found a debut series by a new author. We hope our mystery and suspense readers enjoy The Hollow Men by Rob McCarthy.

We hear its going to be a gloomy, wet weekend. What better way to spend a rainy day than curled up with a blanket and a good book? Come into the library (or stay home and check out our eLibrary) to stock up!

We’re listening. A patron requested more British police procedurals in our collection; so, our excellent Materials team found this promising series debut. THE HOLLOW MEN by Rob McCarthy follows police surgeon Dr. Harry Kent in his determination to help those the world would rather brush aside. #fcplstories #ShelfLife #mystery #policeproceduals #fiction #librariesofinstagram #robmccarthy
