The Trial of the Century

by Gregg Jarrett with Don Yaeger

Expertly researched, eye-opening, and stirring, this book calls upon our past to unite Americans in the defense of the free exchange of ideas, especially in this divided time.


Wreck the Halls

by Tessa Bailey

Call Number: BAILEY

While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she’s never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything—the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.


War Made Invisible

How America hides the human toll of its military machine
by Norman Solomon

Call Number: MH 355.033573 SOLOMON

More than twenty years ago, 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan set into motion a hugely consequential shift in America’s foreign policy: a perpetual state of war that is almost entirely invisible to the American public. This book, by the journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon, exposes how this happened, and what its consequences are, from military and civilian casualties to drained resources at home.


Girl in Pieces

by Kathleen Glasgow

Call Number: Young Adult GLASGOW

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don’t have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

One Dark Window

The Shepherd King: Book 1
by Rachel Gillig

Call Number: Fantasy GILLIG Shepherd v.1

Elspeth needs a monster. The monster might be her. Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom she calls home—she needs a monster.

King: A Life

by Jonathan Eig

Call Number: 323.092 KING, JR.

In this landmark biography, Eig gives us a Martin Luther King, Jr. for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.


Black River Orchard

by Chuck Wendig

Call Number: Fantasy WENDIG

It’s autumn in the town of Harrow, but something besides the season is changing there. Because in that town there is an orchard, and in that orchard, seven most unusual trees. And from those trees grows a new sort of apple: strange, beautiful, with skin so red it’s nearly black. Take a bite of one of these apples, and you will desire only to devour another. And another. You will become stronger. More vital. More yourself, you will believe. But then your appetite for the apples and their peculiar gifts will keep growing—and become darker.
