Spectral Evidence: Poems

by Gregory Pardlo

Call Number: 811.6 PARDLO

At times cerebral and at other times warm, inviting and deeply personal, this book compels us to consider how we think about devotion, beauty and art; about the criminalization and death of Black bodies; about justice—and about how these have been inscribed into our present, our history, and the Western canon: “If I could be / the forensic dreamer / . . . / . . . my art would be a mortician’s / paints.”


The Tainted Cup

Shadow of the Leviathan v.1
by Robert Jackson Bennett

Call Number: Fantasy BENNETT

In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible.


The War Below

Lithium, copper, and the global battle to power our lives
by Ernest Scheyder

Call Number: 333.816 SCHEYDER

This book reveals the explosive brawl among industry titans, conservationists, community groups, policymakers, and many others over whether some places are too special to mine or whether the habitats of rare plants, sensitive ecosystems, Indigenous holy sites, and other places should be dug up for their riches.


One in a Million

by Janet Dailey

Call Number: Mystery DAILEY

Frank Culhane may be the wealthy patriarch of one of Texas’ most prestigious families, but his party girl daughter, Jasmine, is only interested in the money the ranch brings in—and the cowboys. Until the day she heads to the stables in search of their hot horse trainer and instead discovers her daddy’s body in their prize stallion’s box stall.
