Powell Branch Libray received over 20 new non-fiction titles in July! Here is a just a small sample of the subjects you will find on our shelves!
Audition: A Memoir by Barbara Walters We had a patron request this “compulsively readable” memoir -like its author, it’s professional, informed and elegantly casual.
Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Meth Addiction by David Sheff “This is an honest, hopeful book, coming at a propitious moment in the meth epidemic.”
Free Money, Free Stuff: The Select Guide to Public and Private Deals, Steals, and Giveaways What more can we say? When gas is $4.25 a gallon this could be the most popular book of the summer !
Perfect Hostage: A Life of Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma’s Prisoner of Conscience by Justin Wintle Kept under house arrest in Burma, Myanmar, the 1991 Nobel Laureate continues to advocate human rights.
The Bristlecone Book: A Natural History of the World’s Oldest Trees by Ronald M. Lanner Very little is available on this fascinating western subject. We’re excited to add this to our collection!
The South Beach Diet Supercharged: Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life This book outlines an exercise program that complements the popular diet’s three-phase system. It is, after all, bathing suit season!
The Guide to Raising a Child With Diabetes by Linda M. Siminerio and Jean Betschart This book is recommended by the American Diabetes Association. Type 2 diabetes is quickly becomming an epidemic in our country, and this book gives information that we hadn’t had in our collection until now.
Enjoy the new titles, and always feel free to let one of your librarians know if you have a suggestion to add to the collection.
