While ordering books to add to the Library’s collections is one of the most fun aspects of being a librarian, it is also one of the hardest. How do you decide which books to purchase? Is one book more worthy than another? Careful consideration has to be paid to each choice, ensuring that the books chosen represent the people (and their interests) of our community. Here are some of the latest books to be added to our fiction collection; descriptions provided by the publisher:
One woman will travel to the stars and beyond to save her beloved in this lyrical space opera that reimagines The Little Mermaid. Gene-edited human clans have scattered throughout the galaxy, adapting themselves to environments as severe as the desert and the sea. Atuale, the daughter of a Sea-Clan lord, sparked a war by choosing her land-dwelling love and rejecting her place among her people. Now her husband and his clan are dying of a virulent plague, and Atuale’s sole hope for finding a cure is to travel off-planet. The one person she can turn to for help is the black-market mercenary known as the World Witch and Atuale’s former lover. Time, politics, bureaucracy, and her own conflicted desires stand between Atuale and the hope for her adopted clan.
