So Many Lists, So Little Time

3/6/2017

 
By Carol Van Why

Since late last year every serious media outlet has published their version of a Best Books of 2016 list. Just scanning these lists embarrasses me, because most of the time I haven’t read a fraction of the dozens of books mentioned.

This year I’m putting less pressure on myself. I scanned those lists just to find titles in the 1666 Coffman Library’s collection. I have to say that I’m impressed. Find them in the Library’s shelving sections shown in bold print below.
