Grant County Library

The new “Books Sandwiched In” program for adults will be held on the 2nd Thursday of each month, with new books, dvds and cds for 2010. Bring a brown bag lunch at noon and enjoy reviews, lively discussion and the company of fellow readers. The Library will provide a drink and dessert. You may check out any material presented that catches your interest after the program.

Click on the cover of a new book and it will take you directly to the library’s Verso catalog. From there you can see if the book is available, and read a summary or current Publisher’s weekly review. Reserving a book  from this search is not an option,  you will need to access your own account under Library Links.
