New & Upcoming Books
Being part of a large Library consortium has its advantages because we have access to so much more than our individual collection!
When it comes to recently released items, however, you must place a hold on the title in order to be one of the first to get these materials.  
Although a new item may technically belong to us, we are required to send it to fill any hold requests within the library system.  
Included below are some of the upcoming new releases click on the title or book cover to place a hold.
 
***You may have to search the catalogue by title as TracPac+ works out the kinks - Apologies for the inconvenience.***
 
Boleyn Traitor by Philippa Gregory
Boleyn Traitor
by Philippa Gregory

The author of The Other Boleyn Girl returns to the court of Henry VIII with a novel about the high cost of loyalty, love and betrayal.
The everlasting
by Alix E. Harrow

From Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part-even if it breaks his heart. Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion's greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children's books and recruiting posters-but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory-failed soldier, struggling scholar-falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives-and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs. But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una's legend-if they want to tell a different story--they'll have to rewrite history itself.
The everlasting by Alix E. Harrow
