To
Fiction Cat, a good book is like catnip!
 |
Beginning in June, the Somerville Public Library debuted a new
program to promote certain fiction books of particular interest from
the collection. Located centrally in the main reading room, a number
of thematically related and genre specific books are placed on
display with Fiction Cat, and are rotated on a monthly basis.
Each selection in this display is marked with a purple Fiction Cat
bookmark, so anyone selecting these books can rest assured that they
are guaranteed good reads!
These books have been hand-selected for the display by Jim
Sommerville,
Somerville Public Library’s Reference Librarian.

any questions about this promotion or require assistance in locating
the display. |
