Have You Read Jodi Picoult Yet?

May we suggest some fiction that will knock your socks off?

Try reading Jodi Picoult. We can promise you that the characters in Jodi's novels will stay with you for a very long time.We carry all of her books and we've just received her latest effort: Change of Heart about which Publisher's Weekly writes:

"Picoult bangs out another ripped-from-the-zeitgeist winner, this time examining a condemned inmate's desire to be an organ donor."

Published comments about her earlier works include:

"Picoult has become a master-almost a clairvoyant-at targeting hot issues and writing highly readable page-turners about them…It is impossible not to be held spellbound by the way she forces us to think, hard, about right and wrong.”
—The Washington Post

“Picoult writes with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships.”
—The Boston Globe

"In My Sister's Keeper, the author has crafted a compelling story that is heartbreaking and literate in equal measure."

-Barnes & Noble

So head to the Fiction section and check out her novels today.

New Exhibits

There are two new exhibits in the library. Bob Meadows uses a wide variety of exotic and handmade papers with wood, leather and other materials to create one-of-a-kind artist's books in a wide variety of styles and formats. Examples of his work are in the library display cases. Grace Hashimoto is exhibiting her works in the art gallery. The sparse and elegant lines of eastern culture are merged with the numerous colors and complexity of western culture in expressions of diversity and union. Both exhibits will be in the library through April 30.
