Back to School, Staying Prepared, and Band Books on Display This Month!

This month we're bringing back all the books we should have read in high school by showcasing classics like Beowolf and The Odyssey!

September is National Preparedness Month, so we've curated a selection of titles to get your imagination ready for anything! This display includes a variety of post-apocalyptic books, films, and games including World War Z by Max Brooks and the disaster film Geostorm.

With banned books making noise in the book world again, we decided to lighten up the conversation a little bit with BAND books instead! Among the titles in this display are Acid for the Children by the musician Flea and The Beautiful Ones by Prince.
