In new column, library staff flags new books and its other offerings
As Hull Public Library staff members, we would like to reintroduce you to a simple, but useful concept: the brand-new library materials and information compilation, or, simply stated, the booklist. A weekly column, the list will alternate between adult and young adult (YA), children’s new acquisitions, including not only books, but DVDs, digital, apps, museums, and programming. While we may not be able to find you your perfect book, all of these come well recommended. Find many more new titles on our website. Enjoy!
