Though our building remains closed to the public, we’re still providing items to patrons–and we’re also still getting new items (though the timing of their arrivals is still sometimes disrupted by the pandemic)! I love when new items come into the library–I like to scope out what is new and, um, am not above snatching something that looks especially interesting if nobody else has a hold on it. And I know a lot of our patrons love to browse our new shelf. Of course, that’s not possible right now since patrons can’t come in, so I thought the next best thing would be to bring the new shelves to you–digitally. π
Here’s our new fiction shelf as of the time of this writing. If you’re a regular new fiction browser, you know this is pretty full:
And here’s each shelf for your viewing pleasure. See anything you like? Let us know, and we’ll pull it for you. π

Not in the mood for fiction? We’ve got new nonfiction too!


Since taking these pictures, we’ve added quite a bit of additional new nonfiction, including some test prep books, NOLO legal guides, and how-to books.
Our DVD newbies are overflowing the shelves. Some of them new and some of them new copies of old favorites. It’s a little bit of the Wild West there. π
And each shelf individually:



Not quite as overflowing as our DVDs and fiction, but our YA section has some new reads too:

Our kid’s section also has a lot of good new stuff:



And last but not least, though it may seem a pointless gesture, I’m still updating the Book Buzz shelf, even if my coworkers and I are the only ones who see it. π
