Staff Picks

Just in case some of you are unaware, we wanted to let you know that the Land O' Lakes Library has a special display that we do each month to help our patrons in their search for interesting reading material. We call it our Staff Picks Display and each month after painstakingly poring over mounds of books :) we carefully select that special one to be our staff pick. In order to check out these wonderful gems all you have to do is visit your Land O' Lakes Library and pick one up. Of course, they are in high demand, so get here early or you may have to put one on hold.Without further ado here are the staff picks for September:

         Iveta's Pick:  East of Eden by John Steinbeck 

       Jessica's Pick: The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry

        Erin's Pick: Stop Acting Rich and Start Living Like a Real Millionaire by Thomas Stanley

        Paul's Pick: City of Glass by Paul Karasick
