The Trial of the Century

by Gregg Jarrett with Don Yaeger

Call Number: 345.73 JARRETT

Expertly researched, eye-opening, and stirring, this book calls upon our past to unite Americans in the defense of the free exchange of ideas, especially in this divided time.


Wreck the Halls

by Tessa Bailey

Call Number: BAILEY

While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she’s never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything—the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.


War Made Invisible

How America hides the human toll of its military machine
by Norman Solomon

Call Number: MH 355.033573 SOLOMON

More than twenty years ago, 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan set into motion a hugely consequential shift in America’s foreign policy: a perpetual state of war that is almost entirely invisible to the American public. This book, by the journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon, exposes how this happened, and what its consequences are, from military and civilian casualties to drained resources at home.


Girl in Pieces

by Kathleen Glasgow

Call Number: Young Adult GLASGOW

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don’t have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.
