Staff-created list

Reading the LCC is a new Nonfiction book group at Lower Mills Library branch. Each month we'll explore one class of the Library of Congress Classification system, starting with call number A (General Works) and going to Z (Bibliography, Library Science). Unlike a traditional book club, please pick any title that interests you within the month’s category! Here is a booklist of suggested titles for February. All titles from the Adult collection. These books may be available in other formats or languages. Check our catalog for availability.
