Library Spotlight: Heard it on NPR

A new piece of the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library's collection is on display at the library. For the next two weeks, visitors can browse a selection of thought-provoking books and audiobooks with the library's "Heard it on NPR" feature.

The feature spans a wide range of nonfiction topics, from politics to religion to health, with some biographies and works of fiction on display as well. All of the selections have been the topic of discussion on National Public Radio at some recent point in time, and are detailed in a guide displayed on the top shelf. The NPR collection will be on display until August 31.

Explore the culture of food and diet with titles like Watching What We Eat: The Evolution of Television Cooking Shows by Kathleen Collins or The End of Overeating by Dr. David A. Kessler.

Read about influential women in books like Oprah – A Biography by Kitty Kelley, The Woman Behind the New Deal by Kirstin Downey, or Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin.

Or take out a collection of short stories, like Tunneling to the Center of the Earth by Kevin Wilson or In Other Rooms, Other Wonders by Daniyal Mueenuddin.
