Popular Reading and Audiobooks

The "popular" in Popular Reading

  1. The Popular Reading and Audiobooks collection is intended to provide current popular fiction and current general interest non-fiction in print and audio formats, along with classic literature in audio format, for personal enjoyment and intellectual enrichment.
  2. Emphasis is placed on books and audiobooks published in the past 6-12 months.
  3. Older books may occasionally be purchased or moved into the collection if a recent occurrence makes them of current interest (ex. film/tv adaptation, anniversary, re-issue, etc). 
  4. Audiobooks of "classic" titles published anywhere from ancient times to the 20th century are actively purchased.
