Summer has arrived and most of you will have more time to read or if you are like many students, you will be relaxing at the beach or laying out by the pool with a good book. If you are wondering where to find good reads that will keep you going through the summery hot days, just stop by our library and check out our great titles in our new books section, located when you first walk in. Many of the titles have been reviewed on the
New York Times Sunday book review section and have been talked about by Nancy Klingener, Library Assistant for the Monroe County Public Library, on Richard Grusin’s radio show on
Konk 1630 AM talk radio , or by Cynthia Crossen, in the
Wall Street Journal .
There are many sources that one can look upon for book reviews, such as the library catalog,
Library Thing or “What do I Read Next”, an FKCC database or even on
Amazon
Any student, faculty or staff has access to our databases with their library card number and a PIN (the last 4-digits of your ss#). This month, “What do I Read Next” database highlights My Father’s Tears and Other Stories by John Updike as one of their best reads.

You can locate this title in our McNaughton section of the library.
If the title that you are interested in is not on our shelves, we can get it for you from another library through Interlibrary Loan.
Some of our most popular book titles include: Gabriel Garcia Marquez: A Life, Corsair by Clive Cussler, Associate by John Grisham, Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling, and Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer. We also own the series on audio CD.
We also have audio books on CD or ones that are downloadable to an MP3 for those of you that are traveling.
Have you checked out a title from our “Playaway” collection? Playaways are digital audiobooks that can be listened to while walking or jogging. They are small enough to fit in your pocket.

Workshops
The library is offering a workshop on Tuesday, June 30 from 5 - 5:45pm that will show you many of the advanced features in Google. For information please call Beverly Westermeyer 305-809-3194.
