My Life with Bob - Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues
By: Pamela Paul
The editor of The New York Times Book Review has kept a journal (Book of Books) of every book she's ever read and shares how stories have shaped her life.
The front foyer of the library has a wide variety of books - all for quite reasonable prices! Because Norman Williams Library welcomes contributions of used books from our community members, and because our local folks are voracious readers, we have quite a selection of books for sale! All proceeds from book sales go toward the library's operating budget. Stop by and browse our current selection. Or drop off books you don't need anymore, so you can make room for new ones.
